Group Enrollment Types

When creating groups in iCollege, you have several different enrollment options:

# of Groups – No Auto Enrollments: Instructor manually adds students to a set number of groups.

Groups of #: iCollege automatically enrolls student to groups, capped at a set number of users per group.

# of Groups: Creates the number of groups specified and enrolls everyone on the Classlist to those groups.

Groups of # – Self-Enrollment: Students enroll themselves into a group, and when the specified number of users is reached, no other student can join that group.

# of Groups – Self-Enrollment: Creates the specified number of groups, and students enroll themselves into one of the groups.

# of Groups, Capacity of # – Self-Enrollment: Creates the specified number of groups, and students enroll themselves into one of the groups. Once the capacity (maximum number of users) is reached, no other student can join that group.

Single user, member-specific groups: iCollege automatically creates one group per student in which the student is the only member of the group.  This enrollment option is often used for reflective discussions that are only visible to you and the student– think of this as an option for creating private journals in the Discussion Tool.
