Sections in Canvas are used to segment the people users in a class, typically based on their teaching fellows or meeting times. Sections can also be utilized for Lab courses and students Completing an Incomplete. Examples where Sections can support teaching are: Lab courses with multiple sections Teaching several sections of the same course/content at different times - the instructor can set up One Canvas Course that contains different due dates for each section. Students Completing an Incomplete can be easily handled, the instructor can go into the past Canvas Course the student was originally enrolled in and create a section so that only the student working in the course has access.
