👩‍🎓 Assigning courses to an existing group

In this article we learn how to assign a course to an existing group.

Courses must be assigned to groups to give learners and teachers access to the course content. Without this step, learners can't study and teachers can't monitor activity on the course.

Who can do this?

• Admin
• HoD
  
  

What comes before?

• The course must be in a curricula in your subscription.
• You must have created a group 
• You could have assigned teacher(s) to a group¹ 
• You could have assigned student(s) to a group² 

Steps

1. You must be logged in as a school admin or head of department.
2. Choose Admin > Groups.
3. Choose the group to which you wish to assign the course by clicking the pencil icon next to the group name.
4. Go to the pink 'Courses' panel
5. Click 'Add course to group' - a search bar appears.
6. Click in the search bar.
7. A list of courses not currently assigned to the group appears.
8. Find the course in the list and click on it to add it to the group
9. If the list of courses is long, start to type any part of the title and then click/tap when the desired course appears.

Courses can be assigned to a group as part of the group creation process as long as the courses are within a curricula that is part of your subscription.

Notes

¹ Without assigning teachers, there is no one to set assignments or monitor the progress of the learners. Learners can still access the courses without a teacher assigned. Only teachers assigned to the group will be able to access courses allocated to that group.

² Without learners assigned to the group, no student will be able to access the courses in the group.
