Can group assignments be created with self enroll groups?

[dvargas]

If I create a group set and allow students to self-enroll, can I make an assignment that is a group assignment?  The guide says groups created by students cannot be used for Group Assignments and will not appear in drop down.  Also, is the same true for a discussion that I want to be by groups?

Dianne,

As long as YOU create the Group Set and I think the groups within it, then yes you can use them for a group assignment or discussion group even with self sign up enabled.  The issue is only for groups that the students create themselves as they don't belong to a Group set which you can specify for group assignments or discussions.

Great! That's what I hoped. I wasn't even aware students can create their own groups on their own without first setting up a group set. I will be sure to create group sets before telling students to self enroll so I can assign group assignments and discussions.

Thank you for your reply.
