  Managing groups

  Editing groups

  • • 1. Open the group set dot menu and select Edit.
      2. In the group menu, there are various actions you can take like reassigning membership, unassigning membership, changing group types, messaging groups and importing or exporting groups.
         
      3. Save.

  Ramifications:

  • • • Changing group membership will affect where group release conditions have been set, meaning students may lose access to some content items.
      • Flexible grading allow moving group members even after submission or where work has been marked. However, when you move members to different groups, their marks move with them, but their work doesn’t. Please info students where group membership has been edited after submission, or marks have been posted.

  Messaging groups

  You are able to send a direct message to group members, which will appear as an email in their student Outlook account.

  • • 1. Open the group set dot menu and select Edit.
      2. Select the group you want to message and click the group dot menu.
      3. Select message group.
         
      4. Complete your message in the field.
      5. Click Send.

  Deleting groups

  • • 1. Open the group menu and select Delete
      2. When prompted if you’re sure you want to permanently delete a group, select Delete (or Cancel if not)

  Ramifications:

  • • Be aware that deleting groups is irreversible and you will need to recreate them if they are needed again.
    • If you use an existing group set to create a new group set (a copy) then deleting the original will not affect the new copied group set.
    • Deleting group sets attached to assessment or content Release Conditions will cause those group release conditions to be removed.
    • If you delete an assessment or content item that has groups attached to it, the group sets will not be affected.
