Create Groups

Introduction
You can create groups or teams of students and then create any kind of content area and restrict its access to one group.

Create a Group and Allow File Sharing
To create a group:

  • Click the Manage Tab.
  • Click Teams in the Course Management block.
  • Click Add a Team.
  • Type a name for the team or the names of the team members.
  • To allow file sharing, click the down arrow next to File Sharing and choose Enabled
  • Click Save.
  • The Add Team members screen appears.
  • Click in the box next to each person's name who you want to include on the team.
  • Click Add Selected. A person icon appears next to the people you have selected.
  • Click Done.
  • Click Exit Teams Editor.

When file sharing has been enabled for a group, each member of the group will see a place called Team Files on their Course tab.

Set up a Discussion Board for one team
You can set up any content item and restrict its access to one team.
In this example, we set up a Discussion Board for one team:

  • Navigate to the part of the course in which you want to add the Discussion Board.
  • Click Add Content.
  • Click Discussion Forum.
  • Type a name in the Name field, for example, Team A's Discussion Board.
  • Click the Access Tab.

      

  • Next to Team Access, click the down arrow and select Selected Teams.
  • The names of your teams display. Click in the box next to the team which you want to have access this discussion board.
  • Click Save.
  • Follow the same procedure to add any team tool, for example, their own readings, drop box, tests, or wikis.
