Introduction
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 collective work. Any group member can download, modify, and re-upload a file, or edit a text entry. For faculty, grading one (any) student's group submission will automatically replicate that grade and feedback to all that group's members.
Using Group Assignments
1. Create groups, and assign students as group members.
Groups and groupings
If you have a particular set of groups you want to use for this activity, and exclude other groups, than you should also create a grouping.
See Groups in AsULearn and Creating and Managing Groupings for more context.
2. Turn editing mode on in your course.
3. Begin creating a new Assignment activity , or open the settings for an existing assignment.
4. Click the "Group submission settings" heading to view all the Group submission options.
5. Set Students submit in groups to Yes.
6. From the Grouping for student groups drop-down menu, select the Grouping you created for your student groups.
A grouping is only necessary if students will be members of multiple groups throughout the semester. A grouping is a simple way to tell AsULearn which groups to use in this specific Assignment.
7. Under the Common Module Settings heading, set Group Mode to "Separate Groups" or "Visible Groups".
