Groups

Click on the “Student Groups” button towards the top-right of the Screens view of an active classroom session to start assigning your groups.

There are two options for creating groups:

• Custom Groups: Teachers can craft each group to their own liking by selecting which students should belong in each group

• Random Groups: Random combinations of students will be assigned to different groups, with the teacher selecting the number of students to place in each group.

1. Click on the check box to the left of a student's name to add them to a custom group.

2. Once all students have been selected, you will see a message that says “Added!” to the right of the student's name, confirming the student has been added to that particular group.

3. Click on the Create a new group button towards the left of the modal to continue customizing your student groups.
   NOTE: the Next button will be clickable once ALL students in the classroom session have been selected and added to a custom group.

4. When finalizing group settings, you can click on Edit these groups if you'd like to go back into your custom groups and rearrange them or edit the group names.

1. After selecting the option to create random student groups, enter the number of students you would like to have per group. This will separate students into different group sections. You will still be able to manually adjust and modify any students that are in random groups with this option.
   NOTE: If a student or two is leftover, they will be distributed evenly into groups so the size may be larger than selected.

2. Enter a name for the randomly-created set of random groups, then click Save & Create Groups on the far bottom-right corner of the modal.
   NOTE: Saving will not be enabled until the last student is assigned to a group. If you close out the modal in the middle of the workflow, you will first see a confirmation modal to cancel. If you choose to exit, the group will be lost.

3. Once successfully saved, the random groups will be automatically saved for future use under Student Groups -> Enable Existing Groups. If the group was not given a name, it will automatically default to the date it was created and listed as “Random group,” i.e: 12/10/20 Random Group.

Once the groups are created, you will see command options that apply to each group at the top-right of each group section.

The options for each individual group are:

• Call group

• Open tab for group

• Exclude group
