Why are single user groups no longer create a group when a student is added?

Random selection from different lists
Not a quiz question! Say you have 4 lists of items, how can I randomly select one item from each list and show the 4 item results. Say I have 30 Students - so each would have a random 4 item list. Can this be programed - so it can be used with varied number of lists? And the lists may have numbers, words, or sentences.

Assignment tool moves page numbers in heading to left
Viewing a students submission on Brightspace shows the page number on the left and when you download the same submission and open it in MS Word the page number is on the right.
