Creating or Editing Student Groups

1. Access the Groups Tab

Open the assignment.
You’ll land on the Summary tab by default.
Navigate to the Groups tab.

2. Review Group Status

If any students are unassigned, a warning will appear at the top.
Options available:
- Allow students to self-select groups.
- Randomly assign all unassigned students.

3. Manage Groups and Students

Unassigned students are listed separately at the top.
Existing groups are displayed alphabetically.
You can:
- Add new groups
- Search by group or student name
- Filter groups by status

4. Create New Groups

Enter the number of groups you wish to create.
Optionally, schedule groups for a specific time.
After creation, you can:
- Rename groups individually
- Adjust group schedules

5. Assign Students to Groups

Use the drop-down menu next to each unassigned student’s name to select a group.
Option to randomly assign students to groups.
You may choose to fill existing groups first before new ones are created.

6. Edit Existing Groups

Each group shows:
- Current members (left panel)
- Unassigned students (right panel by default)
You can:
- Add or remove students between the two lists
- Toggle the right panel to show all students instead of only unassigned
- Edit the group name
- Schedule or adjust the group meeting time

7. Use Bulk Options

From the Groups tab drop-down menu, you can:
- Edit grouping sections for the assignment
- Schedule all groups at once (note: this does not affect groups that have already started or finished).

To assign the same grouping to all assignments, go to the Module Grouping page. Once all participants have been grouped, a yellow confirmation bar will appear indicating that these same groups will automatically be applied to future assignments.
