Randomly Assign Students to Empty Groups

If you have already created some course groups but still need to add students, you have two options: manually assigning students to the groups or randomly assigning them.

How to Randomly Assign Students to Empty Groups

1. Click Course Groups under Communication Tools on the main Faculty Tools page.
2. Click the Create Group button at the top left side of the page.
3. Click Assign Students Randomly from the dropdown menu.
4. Click Choose existing empty group(s) to assign students to under New or Existing Groups?.
5. Select which groups to include. Students will be divided among the selected groups as evenly as possible.
6. Verify that the Summary reflects the group creation as expected.
7. Click Assign Students.

Note: A group must be empty for it to be included in the list of available groups.
