Idea:

Include an option in the People tool to create a group for each section.

 

Problem:

It is very labor intensive to add a whole section of students to a group (some of our sections have 300+ students)

 

Use Cases:

Instructor needs to share select resources with a section

Instructor needs to have discussions available to specific section

Instructor needs to share Content Pages with a specific section

Instructor needs to conference with a specific section

 

Mockup:

Implementation Consideration:

  • The groups would need to stay synchronized as section membership is updated
  • Would need to account for the case where a section is added after the Groups were setup

 

 

NOTE: This is a more tightly scoped request based on the thinking from More section control for group creation
