Hi there, @GeMeng ...

If you are asking about how to set up student groups within your course, this is all done through the "People" page of your course.  First you must set up a "Group Set".  For example, you might have a Group Set called "Tent Camping Group Assignment" which correlates to the same assignment name in your course.  Then, within the Group Set, you set up your groups.  For example, you might have "Green Team", "Blue Team", and "Red Team".  You can then assign students to each of these teams within the Group Set.  You could set up another "Group Set" (again, with the same name as another assignment in your course).  You could set up groups within that Group Set with completely different group names such as "Lions", "Tigers", and "Bears".  You wouldn't necessarily have to put the same students from the colors teams into the animal names.  For example, if Joe and Jane were in the "Green Team" for the first assignment, they might not be in the same groups for the second assignment.  Joe might be in "Lions", and Jane might be in "Bears".  Here are some Guides for you to look at:

If you are asking about assignment groups, that is a different process.  Assignment groups can also be weighted for grading.  So, for example, you might have written work be worth 75% of the total grade and quizzes worth 25% of the total grade...for a total of 100%.  Here are some Guides on how that all works:
