Multiple group sets for one group assignment

[WijckmansDries]

Is it possible to select multiple group sets for one group assignment? It seems that you can only select one...

Hello @WijckmansDries !

It is currently not possible to select multiple group sets for a group assignment. If you want to include multiple group sets, you would need to duplicate the assignment and then assign it to the next group set you'd like.

For example though, if you had 8 groups under a set called "Set 1", all 8 groups in that section would be assigned the assignment. That's why I always recommend only using one group set for all your groups that you create for all your classes if you're going to use it for graded assignments. 

Student groups are not eligible for graded assignments.

Hope this helps you out, please reach out with any questions!
Have a wonderful holiday season,

What exactly trying to do? Are the students doing team projects or discussions?

Groups are for team assignments. So when you set up groups, all of the students should be assigned a group. For example, I might set up four groups: red, blue, yellow, and green. Then when I assign the Discussion or Assignment, all of the blue students will be working together, and so on. All of the students should be placed into a group ahead of time.

Are you, instead, trying to create different assignments to give to individual students? In that case, you should create "Sections," not "Groups."

While this may be accurate, they were talking about different group sets, not just different groups itself.

For example, your groups Red Blue Yellow and Green would be under a group set, and each of them are individual groups. Group Sets are the holders of all the individual groups, and you can only assign one set per assignment.

Hope that helps clear things up,

Noah
