In AsULearn, faculty can create assignments where students work in groups and each group makes an assignment submission. For example, students in a group can submit one file that represents their joint work. Any group member can download, modify, and re-upload a file, or edit a text entry. For faculty, grading one student within the ggroup submissions (any) student's group submission will automatically replicate that grade and feedback to all that group's members. This video walk through the creation of a group assignment:

6. From the Grouping for student groups drop-down menu, select the Grouping you created for your student groups.

7. Under Common module settings, from the Group mode drop-down menu, select Separate groups or Visible groups, and from the Grouping drop-down menu, select the Grouping used in the previous step.

   Note: This step is especially important if you are assigning different Assignment activities to different groups in your course. But even if everyone in the course is assigned the same activity, choosing Common Module settings here will make grading the assignment easier This Group mode setting is for the Teacher, so that submissions can be easily sorted by groups when grading (see Grade Student Submissions, below).
