Setting up assessments for a group of students within a course

Where a group of students within a course instance are to undertake a different assessment from the rest of the cohort, a Group must be created.

Create an assessment for the Group

In the "Set Up Assessments" screen, click the "Build Structure" button and add an assessment for the Group. 

To avoid confusion and mistakes, please ensure each assessment in the whole structure has a different name. 

Please see the assessment set up page for detailed guidance on creating an assessments.

Create the Group and assign students to the Group

Once you have created an assessment, from the "Set Up Assessments" screen, click the "Build Structure" button and select "Add Group". 

Give the Group a name of no more than two characters in length, and select the students to be added to the Group from the class list. 

Click "Save and Continue" at the top of the page.

Assign assessments to the Group

The "Assign Group" button will have now appeared against each assessment. Select the appropriate assessment to move it from the main cohort and assign it to the group. 

Notice that the weightings have now shifted. 

For every Group created, you must have an assessment assigned to it, otherwise you will not be able to proceed with mark entry against the newly created Group.

Students within a Group cannot do the same assessment as the rest of the cohort.
