Canvas: Using the Oxford Groups tool (GET)

Description: The Oxford Groups tool (or GET) is a custom tool in Canvas to bulk enrol course participants through the integration with SITS (eVision). These pre-defined groups can be used to enrol students (and staff) in different types of Canvas courses. Programme student cohorts and Unit groups (eg entire departments, colleges, postgraduates, undergraduates etc) can be selected, and Ad-hoc groups be created. These individuals can then be dynamically enrolled in Canvas courses, at the course or sub-account levels
