Automatically Assign Leader
In the Leadership section, click the Automatically assign a student group leader checkbox [1]. Then select the radio button for your assignment preference [2]:
- Set first student to join as group leader. This option tells Canvas to assign the first student who joins the group as the group leader.
- Set a random student as group leader. This option tells Canvas to choose a student randomly.
Note: If you choose to have Canvas split your students into an equal number of groups automatically, you can select either radio button for the leadership option. If you select the first radio button, the first student who joins each group as part of the automatic group distribution process will be the group leader.
