Student Groups

• Creating custom and random groups
• Applying commands to groups
• Editing existing groups
• Reordering groups
• Deleting groups

​

Set Up Student Groups

1. Click Student Groups in the upper-right area of the Screens view during an active classroom session. Two creation options appear:
   • Custom Groups : select which students belong to each group
   • Random Groups : assign students randomly, specifying how many students per group

​

Create Custom Groups

1. Click the checkbox to the left of a student’s name to add them to a group. An “Added!” confirmation appears to the right of the name when the student is assigned.
2. Click Create a new group on the left side of the modal to start a second group and continue assigning students.
   The Next button becomes active only after every student in the session has been assigned to a group.
3. Review the group summary. Click Edit these groups to rename groups or move students before saving.

​

Create Random Groups

1. Select the random groups option, then enter the number of students you want per group.
   If students are left over after division, they are distributed evenly across groups, so some groups may be slightly larger than the number you entered.
2. Enter a name for the group set, then click Save & Create Groups in the lower-right corner of the modal.
   Saving is not available until all students are assigned. If you close the modal before saving, a confirmation prompt appears. Choosing to exit discards the unsaved group. Unnamed groups default to the creation date, for example: 12/10/20 Random Group.
3. After saving, the group set is stored automatically under Student Groups > Enable Existing Groups for reuse in future sessions.

Edit Existing Groups

2. Rename groups, delete groups, or move students between groups as needed.

1. Click the settings button (cog icon) to the right of the group label.
2. Uncheck the box next to any student you want to remove from the group.
   You can sort students within a group alphabetically or by online/offline status. A student must belong to at least one group while groups are active , to remove a student from a group, assign them to a different group first. A student can only belong to one group at a time.
3. Select or create the destination group, then click the checkbox next to the student’s name to add them.
