Assign one group assignment to ALL groups (across ALL 'group categories'')
I'm encountering a nasty problem in my (currently running!) course: Assignments that were supposed to be 'group assignments', have become 'individual assignments' (somewhere in the process of copying last years course and configuring it for this year).
I CAN still edit the final assignments that have no submissions yet, BUT then I HAVE TO select a 'Group Category'. I want the assignment to be the same for ALL groups. It seems impossible to move all groups to 1 category (right?).
I've researched it a bit and I currently see different strategies
- Somehow creating a new category with a copy of each group. (only possible if I can do this automatically by CSV import/export again, because doing this manually for 250+ students / 46 teams is no option, of course ;)
- Copying each group assignment (and I have 4 for each group) 10 times (I know I can prevent this for students by setting a Release Condition for each copy, but this a lot of work AND it will still create a confusingly long list of 40 assignments for the teachers, and a horribly complex formula for the grading - I've done this last year and I thought that I found a solution, but…)
- OTHER ? Of course I'm overlooking something, and/or I need some internal admin to help, but 'd like to point them to the solution directly :)
I'm in doubt what's best, and maybe there's a better solution. Looking forward to your help! - I've also put out this question within our university, but I also want to ask here, maybe the solution is better or quicker :)
Important to know (I think):
- in our organization classes are synchronized to Sections (and section membership keeps being synchronized, so as far as I know I should better not touch that)
- random groups were created using Manage Groups (per section, 46 in total , across 10 sections (classes)). This is where the Group Sections were created, that I can't change now.
- I don't seem to have rights to do thing like or
