Step 3: Add/Edit groups

When creating or editing a collaboration assignment, you use the Step 3: Add/Create Groups page to add groups, move students from one group to another, remove students from all groups, and/or save the group setup as a template.

The MyLab displays the existing groups and their members. There is also an Unassigned list of any students who are not yet assigned to a group, such as those who joined the course after you set up the groups. Students on the Unassigned list cannot work on the assignment until you place them in a group.

The tasks you can perform on this page are (click a link to display a description):

Add another group Click the Add Group button to create an additional group.  

Add an unassigned student to a group Drag and drop the student's name from the Unassigned list to a group.

Move students from one group to another Drag and drop student names to move them from one group to another. (Each group must have at least two members.)

Remove a student from all groups Drag and drop the student's name into the Unassigned list.

Save the group configuration as a template Enter a name for the template in the Template Name text box (at the bottom of the page). When you click the Continue button, the MyLab creates the template, and you can use it the next time you create a peer-review or collaboration assignment for this course.

Click the Continue button to save your changes and, if applicable, the template.
