There are two ways to add students to group:

  • Adding students to a group via CSV.

  • Manual adding one or more students to a group.

Adding students to a group via CSV

The easiest way to add all of your current and future students to a group in a course, is by using the CSV upload option.

Using this option you can upload your students into your course, including the group. Groups will automatically created if not yet present. When a student registers for your course, they will be automatically assigned to group you uploaded via the CSV. This works for all methods of adding students to your course (e.g. via general access link, LTI or personal invites).

Consequently, you can also update the groups for both registered and unregistered students by uploading a new CSV. This will update the groups of any of the students in your course.

Manually adding students to a group

Here is a short video showing how simple it is to add students to an existing or new group:

You can simple assign students by selecting them and clicking the 'Assign to group' button. Take the following steps:

  2. Click on Teacher Dashboard at the upper right of the screen

  4. Click the 'Assign To Group' button

  5. Select the group you want to assign the student to or select the 'New group' option and type the new group name

Filter students on group

After this you can easily filter your students on group. Here is a short video showing how simple this is:

Do you want to remove the student from their group and not assign them to a new group, you can do this by assigning them to the group "-". This will remove them from all groups. See below how this is done:
