Batch Enrolling Students into Groups

The User Workflow Manager (UWM) tool for groups is available primarily for Ultra courses. It can be used by any Instructor, Course Builder, or Teaching Assistant enrolled in the course.

If you make changes to a group set you've reused, those changes affect any group assignments and discussions based on that group set. 

  • Membership changes in a group set affect the content-level items where the groups are used, such as in group discussions and assessments.

  • Membership changes in a content-level item based on a course group set affect the course group set.

  • Membership changes in a group set do NOT affect other group sets that are based on the group set.

  • If you add or delete a group in a group set used to create a new group set, the new group set is unaffected.

  • If you add or delete a group in a group set that you used to create a group assessment or discussion, that content item’s groups are updated. Edits to group titles and descriptions also affect the content items.

  • If you add or delete a group in a group assessment or discussion that's based on a course group set, the course group set is updated. Edits to group titles and descriptions also affect the course group set.

  • If you delete a group set used to create a new group set, the new group set is unaffected.

  • If you delete an entire group set used to create a group assessment or discussion, the content item’s groups are removed.

  • If you delete a group assessment or discussion based on a course group set, the group set is unaffected.
