Groups

Question

I created groups for students to choose their group, but the group tab is not showing up for them to choose. Did I miss something?

Just to be sure...first you have to create the Group Set.  This could be the same name as an assignment in your course.  Then, within the Group Set, you create the groups for that Group Set.  For example, you could have four groups: Green Team, Red Team, Blue Team, Yellow Team.  You can assign students to these groups or allow them to sign up/choose their own group.  You could create another Group Set with a different name...make groups for that Group Set, and assign your students in completely different ways in those groups than you did with the first Group Set groups.

* How do I add a group set in a course?
* How do I automatically create groups in a group set?
* How do I manually create groups in a group set?
* How do I create self sign-up groups in a group set?
* How do I allow students to create their own student groups?

Here is a Guide for students:

* How do I join a group as a student?

Does this help to answer your question?

I created a group that allowed the students to join, but what I noticed is that I had to go into the course navigation and move the people tab up for for the students to see.  Once I did that, I was able to go in as the student and sign up for the group.  After I signed up for the group then the group icon appeared in my global navigation.

Hope this helps.
