6.6.9 Student Groups

 

Instructors have the option of dividing their classes into Student Groups. These Student Groups can then be used to filter reports and Gradebook scores. This feature is available in the Administrator Center after the Instructor selects a class. Click on the option that says "Student Groups," then click on "Add Student Group" to create a new group. Students can be added to more than one Student Group; in other words, Groups can overlap. Instructors can enter a name for the group or use the default name, then select the students to be added to the group and click the "Save" button.
Instructors can edit, view, or delete existing Student Groups. To edit or modify an existing Student Group, the Instructor clicks on the "edit student group" link; an action column will appear. Click on "Save" for changes to take effect. Using "Show all students and groups" will show all students and the groups they belong to. Each column can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column title.
Instructors can choose "View Student Group" to filter the different Student Groups using a drop down menu which will contain "All Students," "Students not in any group," and the Student Groups already created and named. Instructors can filter reports by Student Groups using the "Show" drop-down menu to select from the currently created Student Groups. Instructors can also filter Gradebook scores by using the "Group Filter" drop-down menu to display the Gradebook scores for the selected group.
