How do I target Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Files, Modules, and Pages to individual sections?

This guide will go over how to target different sections of students within a single Canvas course for different content and due dates/deadlines.


Answer

See the attached instructions for each part of Canvas to see how to target each item for a particular section in a course with multiple sections of students.

  • Announcements (under the Select Sections portion of this guide)
  • Assignments
  • Discussions (Keep in mind that if you assign a Discussion to "Everyone" in a course with multiple sections, students will be able to reply to all students regardless of whether they are in the same section. If you do not want this to happen, contact the Canvas Admin for options in limiting discussions to single sections within a cross-listed course.)
  • Modules (through the Module Assign To instructions you can also limit Files and Pages to specific sections or students).
