For those of you who teach Canvas courses that include merged sections, you might have noticed that your sections are named identically when you go to the Gradebook and click the drop-down for Showing All Sections. To name your sections individually, go to Settings – Sections – click a section – Edit Section – type in a section for Section Name – Update Section. Do not touch the text for SIS ID; this will cause damage to your course. Repeat the process for the next section. Choosing a section in your Gradebook allows you to see only students in a specific section.
The above has been placed on the Canvas faculty notes and tips page.
