Choose your group workflow

Use the workflow supported by your course and give students the matching instructions. Group login and group sharing have different steps.

Group login

Students sign in together on one shared computer. Each student enters their own credentials, and the first student added becomes the group leader.

Group sharing

One student enters the agreed responses and shares the work. Every recipient signs in to their own account, previews the completed work and accepts the correct version.

Adding a recipient is not acceptance. Each recipient must review and accept the shared work to be included and receive credit.
