Adding users into a group
Remember, groups must be created first. Alternatively, you may choose to use the automated group creation, which creates the groups and puts students into the groups simultaneously. This chapter guides you on adding users into groups manually.
First, open the Group page in course administration. If you are student, you usually do that by clicking on the link provided somewhere on the course area. Click or tap on the group to which you want to add members. The group is activated when it turns blue. When the group is activated, you may see the current members of the group in the box on the right hand side. The box is empty if there aren't any members.
Click on Add/remove users. 1) Type in the student's first name in the Search box and once the system finds the person, 2) click on the name in the Potential members box. The name must be activated by clicking it blue. 3) Then click the Add-button and proceed adding more members.
If there is a limited amount of students on the course area, you may simply click on all of the names visible in the list by holding Ctrl- button (Windows) or Cmd-button (MAC). Then click Add. In this way you may add all the group members at once.
When you are done adding members into this group, click on Back to groups and you may choose another group.
