Upcoming Change: Improved Groups Management in VU Collaborate (available Monday 26 October 2026).

Use student groups to manage collaborative assignments, deliver targeted content, or view by class.

Functionally uses:

  • Group Assignments: One member submits on behalf of the group; all members can view the submission, grades, and feedback.
  • Group Release Conditions: Restrict access to specific content or assessments based on group membership.
  • Filter by class: View attendance, submissions, analytics, and more by class group.

 Group creation:

  • Create groups: Assign students manually or allow self-enrolment.
  • Allocate Plus (AP) Class groups: Automatically created and updated daily from Allocate+ timetable selections. These groups, identified by the AP_ prefix (e.g., AP_ABC1234_Class), must not be manually edited to avoid sync errors and are not suitable for group assessment submissions.
