Group Submission Assignments

What is different about a group assignment

• An assignment is created as individual until the groups are attached. Therefore it is vital that the groups are attached before students start to submit.
• Groups of students need to be set up in the course. See Create and Manage Groups guidance.
• Any student in a group may submit on behalf of the whole group and all students in the group will see a receipt on the Blackboard Coursework area.
• Marking is per group but you can override individual marks if necessary.

Adding the groups to the assignment

You will need to have already set up the group set and set it as Visible to students in order for you to attach it to the assignment. See Create and Manage Groups guidance.

4. Select Save.
5. On the settings you will now see the number of groups assigned to the assignment. Select Save.
