Managing main + group discussions

[ben_chapman]

Friends,

I'm sure this must have been discussed before, but I'm having no luck turning anything up. Here's the situation.

We want to divide students into groups to work through a legal problem. They are responsible for editing a document, discussing it and creating a final draft in their groups.

• Group A (10 pts)
• Group B (10 pts)
• Group C (10 pts)

We then want them to report back and provide their document as part of a "main" discussion:

• Assignment 3.1 Discussion (20 pts)

However, this seems very awkward. We basically have to create two separate assignments for them.

Do you have any suggestions on how to better manage this?

Many thanks and sorry for the newbie question.

Hello, 

I have had this very same issue recently, and it would be great if there were a way to make the Group Discussions visible to the entire class.
