Journaling in Canvas

Steps to Create a Journal Assignment:

1. Use the Groups tool to create a group set that has one student per group.
   How do I add a group set in a course?

   For "Group Structure," select Split number of students per group, and enter "1" for the number of students per group.

    

2. Create a Group discussion.
   How do I create a group discussion in a course?

   • This will create a “discussion” for each individual student where they can submit entries (this area will be their student journal).
   • Only you and the student will see this space.
   • It will automatically date each entry they make.
   • You can make just one of these group discussions for the whole semester or break it down into weeks.
   • All of the entries for each student will show-up in SpeedGrader at once so it is easy to grade them.
