How do I create a group Assignment using VoiceThread?
You will learn how to make a group Assignment where you want to separate students into groups to participate in a VoiceThread activity.
Unfortunately, Canvas does not support Groups in Assignments that use an LTI (like VoiceThread, SoftChalk, GoReact, etc.), so we have to use Sections as a workaround.
Follow these steps to learn how to create new sections for your course.
1.1. Upon entering your course, click on Settings.

1.2. Click on the Sections tab.

1.3. Type the name of the new section.

1.4. Click on + Section.

1.5. Add the additional names for your new sections.
Tip: Create one section for each "group" of students.

You have now created the desired number of Sections for your course.
Follow these steps to add students to specific sections (like you would for groups).
2.1. Click on People.

2.2. Click on the Three Dots menu.
Follow this process for each student.

2.5. Select the appropriate section.

The student will still be in the original section (usually in the format of Fall 2021 CAS 101 01 12345).
