Create a Group Assignment

In Moodle, you can assign students to groups and then have each group work on an assignment. One person from the group can submit a single file for the entire group or each group member can submit his or her own file. Also, you can assign a single grade for all group members, or you can assign individual grades to group members. (For more information, see Grade a Group Assignment.)

To create a group assignment:

  1. Group students. (For more information, see Group Students.)
  2. After you've created the student groups, create the assignment as you normally would, except:
  • Under Submission settings, change the Require students click submit to Yes.

    Submission settings
  • Under Group submission settings, change Students submit in groups to Yes so that each group can submit a single file for the assignment.

    Students submit in groups
  • By default, students who are not members of a group may make a submission. If you want only members of groups to submit, then change Require group to make submission to yes.

    Require group to make submission
  • By default, only one student in a group needs to click the Submit button in order to submit the assignment for the entire group. If you want all students in the group to click the Submit button in order for the assignment to be submitted, then change Require all group members to submit to Yes.

    Require all group members to submit
  • Under Common module settings, change Group mode to Separate groups or Visible groups.
