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 will automatically replicate that grade and feedback to all group members.
Group Submission Setup Process
- Make sure that students are placed into groups within AsULearn. 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. Group Help Page
