Use
groups to design special work areas where learners can discuss, share, and
submit work as a group. In order to enroll students within a group, a group
category must be created. This tutorial demonstrates how to manually enroll
students into groups within a course.
· If students are changed
to a new group after completing group work, then depending on the particular
scenario, it is recommended to review the previous course group work to
determine if the student has to recomplete the requirements or not. This
decision is based on the instructor’s discretion.
· If a discussion topic
or assignment is associated with a grade item, the student’s discussion post(s)
and assignment submission will remain in the old group and do not count towards
a user’s grade in the new group. The student will either need to satisfy the
discussion post and assignment requirements in the new group or the instructor
can manually override the student’s grade in the grade book to reflect the old
group’s grade.
