From time-to-time we use group projects and grade assignments as a group. It would be nice if there were a way to assign students in a class to a working group for a single assignment so that you could sort by group and monitor a groups' progress at a glance. If it was under a lesson you could perhaps also assign a group to a discussion that wouldn't be visible to the rest of the class so that they could collaborate.

Destiny Davis We would also love to see this feature added :) Thank you!
-
Emma Emgård Yes, I would have used it in most of my classes t if it was available.
-
Sumathi Lingappa We would like to see this feature implemented soon. Thank you!

Ric Bruce Yes, groups are essential for any modern LMS. The main thing lacking here is that that Populi has no way to assign grades to a group, there is no common group area for sharing files and doing discussions and there is no way to break up discussion boards into groups so that grading is natural, easy and intuitive. At EBI we rate this as a major need.

Davina Ng Since collaboration is so essential in this day and age, this is an essential feature that should be in Populi.
-
Pamela Peh Yes this feature is important because it allows the system to acknowledge receipt of assignments from a group of students together and it allows our comments to be shared with all students
-
J. Ben Wiles This feature should absolutely be added. Our faculty are calling for it and it is crucial to a collaborative environment.
-
Vered Hillel, PhD I am entering this discussion due to a search for group assignments. Has there been an update I missed? Can group assignments be made in Populi?
-
Ben Mcintosh Has there seriously been no action taken on this request? This seems like a fairly significant oversight.
-
Adam Sentz Ben Mcintosh - It's on our list. It's just a really long list.
-
Zhaoxue Lu Yes, we really need this function!
-
Tami Bonnett-Admi Ditto. We are potentially moving from Moodle, where we actively use this functionality for several of our group projects. We'd love to see it added.
-
Melissa Trahyn This function is still needed and it's 2025 (it's been a request for 11 years)
-
Roy Kosin Some kind of linking of certain assignments to certain students is a requirement for many courses. Is this the only request of this type or are there others that are related that could be linked to indicate the level of need?
-
Dr. John Doak Is there a way to link certain assignments to certain students?
-
Adam Sentz Dr. John Doak - Right now the only way is via cross-listing: assignments can be segmented by cross-listed course.
