Instructors and administrators

We streamlined the process of converting groups from activity-level to course-level to improve consistency and ease of use for instructors. 

All activity-level groups are now automatically converted to course-level groups:

  • During course conversion from Original to Ultra.
  • When course materials are copied into a new course. 

All group associations with content items are preserved, so instructors don’t need to manually reassociate groups with content. Course-level groups offer more consistent group management and are easier to use across the course. This update ensures a smoother experience for instructors managing group activities. 

Group behavior for exact copies hasn’t changed.

Availability:  Available for all Ultra courses. 

Activation:  None needed.

Configuration:  None needed.
