Alternatively, you may create a new group anyways by clicking New Group Category. 

7. If you want to lock the discussion until a certain date, or lock it past a certain date, you can set the dates here.

When you have created your group discussion, the title and descriptive text is then duplicated for each separate group. The students in the group will only see entries from others in the same group.
