How do I automatically assign students to groups?
Once you create groups in a group set, you can randomly automatically assign students to those groups. Alternatively, you can choose to manually assign students to groups or create and assign students to groups by importing a CSV file.
Open People
In Course Navigation, click the People link.
Open Group Set
Click the name of the group set.
Confirm Groups
Confirm you have created all the groups for this group set. If you need more groups, you can create additional groups manually.
Randomly Assign Students
Click the Options menu [1], then click the Randomly Assign Students link [2].
Require Same Section for Groups
If you want to require group members to be in the same section, select the Require group members to be in the same section checkbox.
When the Require group members to be in the same section checkbox is selected, a tool tip displays the message: Students who are enrolled in multiple sections will be put in a group by themselves.
Click the Okay button.
