Submissions for group assignment is actually not submited as a group assignment.

[alenkahr]

Student groups and assignment settings are correct the Canvas. However, when students submit their assignment, the speedgrader does not have them organized in student groups. It treats student submissions as individual submissions, not as group.

Hi alenkahr,

It sounds like the group-submission option isn’t fully enabled on that assignment. In Canvas, even if you’ve created student groups, SpeedGrader will only treat a submission as a group submission if the assignment itself is explicitly set up that way. Here are the key things to double-check:

1. Assignment Settings

   • Edit the assignment.

   • Under Group Assignment, make sure “This is a Group Assignment” is checked.

   • Choose the correct Group Set (the same set where you placed the students).

   • Decide whether to give everyone the same grade by keeping “Assign Grades to Each Student Individually” unchecked (if you want a single grade for the group).

2. Submission Workflow

   • Remind students that only one person per group needs to submit the work. If each student uploads separately, SpeedGrader will show them as individual submissions.

3. Group Membership

   • Confirm that each student is actually assigned to a group within that group set before anyone submits. Late changes after a submission can cause Canvas to treat it as individual.

4. Resubmission (if needed)

   • If the setting wasn’t correct initially, you may need to update the assignment and ask for a resubmission so Canvas can register it as a group submission.

Once the assignment is correctly flagged as a group assignment and students submit as a group, SpeedGrader should display each submission under the group name rather than individual names.

I hope this helps.
