How do I set up (lab) groups for a course with 3 sections (~20 students per section)? Each sectio

Hi @Jonathan Walsh​ this is quite the question!

So, first off, we'll need to create the groups in Brightspace. By the sounds of things, you already know the number of groups in each section and could probably manually assign everyone to those groups. Just an FYI, we do have self enrollment groups where you could say there will be X number of groups, max X number, and so students could enroll themselves into them to save you doing this step in future.

For now, you may have to manually create those groups in Brightspace though. Quick note here, when you create the groups choose to 'restrict enrollment' to your sections to make things easier!

From there, you can go and create your assignments, select submission type = group, and then selecting the correct section group categories and use release conditions so that only Section 1/2/3 see that assignment.

Once you've created an assignment for section 1, week 1, you can copy that and just change the dates/names to save you time.

Only outstanding question - do the grades need to go into gradebook?

Hope the above makes sense by the way, if you have questions do just ask and can answer them here.
