VITAL support for staff
Group tool
 |
What does the tool do? |
The Group tool enables online group work, organising students into groups in a module. Each group has its own group area in the module where the group can be given tools such as a group blog, discussion board, email, file exchange, journal, and the Scholar bookmarking tool. Group assignments can also be set-up to which groups submit joint work (group assignments are created separately using the Assignment tool - see 'How to' guide). Groups are created either singly (one by one) or in a set (a number of groups based on one template). A Group Set is the quickest way to create multiple groups sharing the same basic settings. Three different methods of allocating group membership are available, including allowing students to sign up to groups of their own choosing. |
