Group Assignments

When creating groups, each group is placed in a Group Set. These sets of groups can then be used to create Group Assignments. For example, you might have:

• A Group Set called Final Presentation, within which you have
• Seven different groups, manually assigned or to which students signed up, and
• A single Group Assignment that is assigned to every group in which they submit a presentation, perhaps as a PowerPoint file, a link to another site, etc.

• A Group Assignment is simply a choice in the Assignment options when you create an assignment, so would follow the same process you've already learned.
• You can choose to assign a grade for the group or individually.
• You cannot use student-created groups Links to an external site. for Group Assignments (but you can use groups you created and had students select.
• You can use Peer Review with groups, but if you want something other than random assignment of peer review across groups, you will need to assign the reviews manually.
