Need to be able to click button to create a tag set based on group set name and then tag variants based on groups in that group set. Automatically tag student with their groupset-group name. This opens up ability to assign work based on group!
This seems like the most common use of differentiation tags yet its not a built in feature. The bigger the class, the more helpful this would be.
Use scenario: Large class has student groups. Each group has a different assignment presentation date. Want one assignment with different due date for each group.
So you want to be able to create a tag set by combining multiple single tags? How would that be done automatically?
not quite -
Would like to be able to automatically build (one click) a Tag Set based on an existing Group Set.
Example:
Group Set = Colors. Contains groups = Red-Group, Yellow-Group, Black-Group
Click ONE button to create an equivalent Tag Set = Color Tag Set,
with tags = Red-Tag, Yellow-Tag, Black-Tag
assigns every student in Red-group the Red-Tag, etc.
Since can't create assignment Assign To rules based on Group, but CAN on Tag, could have
Assign To Red-Tag, Due Sept 1
Assign To Yellow-Tag, Due Sept 8
Assign-To Black Due Sept 15
This would be useful for things like group presentations.
Remember there is a limit for tags inside a tag set (10?) while there is no limit for groups in a group set (or the limit is much larger than the tag set limit)
There's also the tag limit in a course as well which is an issue in its own right.
