There may be times when an instructor would like to release a quiz to a particular group of students.  For example, an instructor may have a group project as part of an assignment and would like to release an assignment or quiz to just that particular group. 

The first step is creating student groups and enrolling students into that group.  The next step includes adding restrictions to a quiz or assignment based on the group.

Step 1: Create Groups in child shell course (combined section)

  • Go to Course Tools > Groups > New Category
Manage Groups
  • Provide a Category Name, such as Labs
  • Enrollment Type:  Select # of Groups – No Auto Enrollment (this allows the instructor to manually enroll students into each group)
  • Select Number of Groups
  • Provide Group Prefix.  This name will appear before each group number (Labs 1, Labs 2)­­
  • Save
Category Information

Step 2: Manually Enroll Students into each Group

  • Select the Group Name
