    Article summary

    You can create three types of groups:

    1. Custom groups (Small number of groups or Large number of groups)
    2. Random groups
    3. Self-enrollment groups (Small number of groups or Large number of groups)
    Take note:
    • Group tools: Groups must be attached to an assignment to access group Class Collaborate rooms and conversations.
    • Group member visibility:
      • For instructor-created groups, groups must be attached to an Assignment, Discussion, or Test to see group member names within the activity item.
      • For self-enrolment groups, members will see group member names in Course Groups on the Details & Actions menu.
    • Only in Randomly assigned groups can you at present create a large number of groups from the start (i.e. choose the number of groups or set the number of students per group).
    • If you need to create more than 10 groups with custom or self-enrolment, use the How to create a large number of groups step sheet.
    • You will always create a group set and all newly created groups will have the name New Group and a number. To have customized names, you will have to either:
      • change the name of each individual group or
      • use Excel do a bulk change of the default group name to an educationally meaningful name
    • Self-enrolment groups can be set that allows a student to unenrol themselves from one group and then enroll themself into another group.
