| Note |

Please ensure that all the students on your module are in a group before submissions are made. If you do not do this then one student’s assignment submission will become available to all students. All groups must be correct prior to the first submission. Changing group membership after one submission will result in assignments being deleted. |
Please refer to our guidance on Adding Groups to your module for more information.

What does the setting require all group members to submit mean?
- If set to No:
All members of the group have the ability to submit a file on behalf of the group.
All group members can replace the submitted file with a new one at any point up to the assignment deadline.
Once the submission deadline is passed the submitted file is automatically assumed to have been agreed as the final one by each of the group members.
- If set to Yes:
All members of the group have the ability to submit a file on behalf of the group.
Each group member must click the Submit assignment button to confirm that this is the final version of the assignment as agreed with the group.
Once a group member has clicked Submit assignment, they cannot change their mind and replace the submitted file with any other file even if the assignment deadline has not yet been reached.
Group members who have not clicked Submit assignment can replace the submitted file with a new file. If the last member of the group to submit, changes the file submission and clicks Submit assignment, other members of the group will not be able to change it. The group will need to contact the lecturer or course officer to revert the assignment to Draft (see additional note below).
The assignment is not deemed to be submitted until each of the group members has clicked the Submit assignment button.
When one student has submitted, the other members of the group will be able to see who still has to submit.

If the assignment is reverted to draft after it has been submitted, the submission status for each student in the group will revert to Draft but it is only the student whose record the lecturer clicked on in the grading action screen to revert the submission who needs to re-submit. The other students will have a Draft status but they will not be included in the list of students who need to submit. If the lecturer then reverts more students in the group, the status for all students in the group will still be Draft but only students whose submission status was clicked to revert the submission will need to re-submit, and not the others in the group. When all those students who need to re-submit have re-submitted, the status of the assignment in the gradebook will be displayed as Submitted for all members of the group. |

Due to the way that groups are managed in Moodle, it is not possible to have an anonymous group assignment as the group name displays in the assignment submission area.
