The first few times you create a new course in Canvas, it's a challenge to remember all of the steps required. The Course Setup Checklist exists to help you remember to cover all your bases before the course goes live.

Instructors may want to create groups within a course but allow students to form their own group membership rather than have the instructor assign students to a group.

Self sign-up groups allow users to choose the group they want to be in.
