How to create a master group and sub-groups

To create a master group containing sub-groups like this:
Mr A's Groups
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3

Log in as usual, click Admin -> Students

Create the sub-groups first

  1. Click ‘Add’ in the left-hand column ‘Groups’
  2. Type in a name (eg Group 1) and a password for the students
  3. To add new students, paste or type the names into the box, click ‘Next’ and ‘Confirm’ or click ‘Existing Students’ to select from All Students (or other existing group) and click ‘OK’
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 to create more sub-groups (eg Group 2, Group 3)

Then create the master group

  1. Click ‘Add’ in the left-hand column ‘Groups’
  2. Type in a name (eg Mr A’s Groups) and a password for the students
  3. Click ‘Existing Students’ and use the drop-down to select Group 1
  4. Click ‘Select all’ and ‘OK’
  5. In the left-hand column, drag Group 2 and then Group 3 into Mr A’s Groups.

To make any adjustments, you can select the whole group or individual students and click ‘Move to..’ in the bottom right hand corner. Click ‘more’ for options to ‘remove’ or ‘delete’.
