I have a situation with a course with six assignments. I have 6 teachers assigned to the course. Each assignment should be graded only by a single assigned teacher. How can I set up the options so that only the assigned teacher gets the email notification when a learner submits an assignment to the assignment that teacher should grade?
thanks!

Best solution:
Copy the teacher role and rename it to something appropriate.
Remove the Access All Groups permission.
Set up groups in your course and assign each teacher to the appropriate group. Then assign each group to the relative assignment.
Teachers will only be able to see their group of students and the assignments that they are assigned to. They will only receive notifications for their group of students.
Thanks very much Emma. I had read the documentation on groups and thought that might be the key.
But the documentation also seemed to suggest that students within a group could see and edit the submissions by other students within the group. In other words, groups were for collaborative submissions. In our situation, each learner's submissions must be confidential.
Can you tell me if the method you suggest would keep the submissions confidential among students?
Thanks!

The only time that students can see another students submission is if the assignment is set to allow group submissions. This means that a group of students can submit together. It is different to just setting separate groups at the course level which allows you to separate bunches of students for just the purpose you are looking for.
Thanks for that clarification!

When I configured assignments the way you suggested, with groups, and a single teacher being assigned to each group, I still have a problem with the notifications. Even though only a single teacher is assigned to a group, and a single group is associated with each assignment, ALL teachers get an email notification when a student submits an assignment.
Do you have any other hints on how to modify the notifications?
thanks!
Have you set the course to Separate Groups?
