This is the base step sheet to explain the following:
- from where to access groups
- naming a Group Set
- how to enroll students into the groups.
Steps to create groups
-
Click on the Groups tab to access the Groups environment.
-
On the Course Groups page, click on New Group Set.
-
On the New Group Set page, click on the name or the pencil icon to edit the name of the group.
-
Select the Group students field and choose how you want to assign students into groups.
a. Custom – You manually assign students to a specific groups (not recommended for large classes).
b. Randomly assign – Students are automatically randomly assigned to groups: you specify the number of groups and the program will indicate the number of users that will be in that group.
c. Self-enrollment – Creates a sign-up sheet for students to choose their group (For this option to become useable: make the groups visible to the students)
d. Reuse groups – You can reuse an existing course group or group set you had previously created in your course.
- There are individual step sheets for each of the different ways to group students.
- There may be different step sheets for creating a small number or a large number of groups in each of these.
Different submission dates for different groups
If you need to provide extension to a group to submit their group assignment, you can use the Add exception function as per the screen cap below.
