How do I create a group discussion in a course?
Groups are a subset of a course with a course-like environment including their own Calendar, Discussion board, and Collaboration tools. Only students added to a group have permission to see and use the respective tools within the group.
A group discussion assignment creates an identical discussion topic in each group category. When students reply to the discussion topic they do so within their group environment, which is linked to the course from which the assignment was created.
If you prefer to create a group discussion for grading, learn how to create graded group discussions.
Note: You will need to create group sets and groups before setting up a group discussion assignment.

How do I align an outcome with a rubric in an account using Rubric Enhancements?
You can align any outcome in your course to a rubric. Rubrics are used to help students understand expectations for an assignment and how their submissions will be graded. Outcomes can be aligned with a rubric for additional assessment and measurable performance.
To align an outcome, the outcome must already exist for your account. Learn how to create account outcomes.
Notes:
- Outcomes can be added to rubrics, but rubrics cannot be added to outcomes.
- Rubrics cannot be edited once they have been added to more than one assignment in a course.
