Setting up group assignments

When setting up group assignments, you may sometimes want to use custom groups for this purpose. Lecturers can create custom groups for that purpose. You may refer to Moodle’s comprehensive documentation here on how to do it.

Once you have created your groups, there is one more step you need to do before you set up your group assignment: grouping. Grouping will force the assignment to use the groups you specify rather than it using something unintended. You may refer to Moodle’s comprehensive documentation here on how to do it.

Set up groups

Step 1 - First, go to the ‘ Participants’ tab. of the module you wish to create groups in.

Step 2- Click on the icon and click on ‘ Groups’

Step 3 -Click on ‘Create Group’

Step 4 - Fill in the required fields and click “Save changes”

 


Create groupings

Step 1 - Once you have created your desired groups, in the Group page, look for the tab called ‘Groupings’ and click on it

Step 2 - Click on ‘Create Grouping’

Step 3 - Create your grouping by entering at least the group name and once finished , click Save Changes

Step 4 - Once saved, click on the person icon on the far right

Step 5 - You may now assign groups to the grouping by selecting the group and clicking on either Add or Remove. This will be important when setting up group assignments.

Step 6 - Once you have assigned your required groups to the grouping, you can now select this grouping when creating your group assignment.

When you click on the dropdown box for ‘Grouping for student groups’, you will be able to select the custom grouping you created. Once the assignment is created, all groups that show up in the assignment will only be the groups you assigned to the grouping.
