I have created groups in my course.
I created an assignment.In the assignment setting I have chosen "Seperate Groups"
How can all the group see the assignment that was sent only by one member
of the group?
Right now they can see only the assignment sent by them.
(Ver 1.5.3)

Thanks,
Abigail

Hi Abigail,

The assignment module is designed so that only the teachers/tutors can see assignments submitted by students. However you could use one of the other modules to achieve what you want. Perhaps try the Glossary or a Forum or even a Wiki?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.
So what do we gain from using "seperate groups' in the assignment
except for fact that it enables the teacher to see just the students'
group while giving the grades?

Good question Abigail and I have been trying to think of a good answer. The only one I can come up with is that it could allow a different teacher to grade each group.

I read a little about groups (see http://docs.moodle.org/en/Groups_FAQ) and their use in any different activity depends on that activity and the way that groups have been programmed.

I find that assignments work pretty much the way I want them to, i.e. student submits assignment and only the teacher(s) can see/grade them. If I want students to see the work done by other students then I would use something like a forum to do this. In version 1.6 there you is a type of forum called Q&A in which the tutor opens the discussion with a question. Each student is allowed a single answer but can't see anybody else's answer until they have posted their own. Sorry but I don't know if this exists in your version.

Hi Abigail and Dave (wave from Mary Webb up the road, Dave);

Assignments won't allow students to see each others' work, unless you promote them to teachers I suppose. If I understand the problem correctly, your solution lies in the Workshop module.

Although Workshop looks daunting with all its different configurations, I've found it to have high value to learners - the (apparent) difficulty in setting it up for the first time is more than rewarded by the gains to students. And the second time you set it up is easy.

OK then - in a nutshell, here's how I have used it to best effect, which might be overkill for your needs but you can leave steps out if you want. Set up the module with 3 teacher-submitted assignments so that students can assess them and see the rubric against which their own work will be judged. When they've done this they can submit their own work for assessment, and they are offered an opportunity to self-assess and resubmit. It is randomly assigned to their peers for their assessments, then afterwards the teacher gets to make an assessment which I generally weight.

You can set it up to miss out the teacher-submitted stage, and even the peer-assessed stage, so that the assignment becomes a self-assessment.

The different options in Workshop make it of immense value in so many ways. In my opinion, its value to those interested in "Assessment for Learning" is immense.

Hi Abihail, Dave and Dale,

I think the real problem here is that an assignment may be assigned to a student group instead of a couple of individual students. In this case, if one of the group members uploads a file, it is uploaded for all the group members, and has to be visible for them. When the assignement is graded, the grade counts for all the group members, and has to be visible for all of them too.

It is very unclear for me why Moodle does not contain this functionality. It seems fairly basic to me in a collaborative environment.

Or am I wrong?
