Note: Before carrying out this step, please ensure you have created groups and added these groups to a grouping.

  • Create student groups and place these groups into a grouping that should be assigned to the “Grouping for student group” option above
  • Ensure that all students on the module are allocated marking/tutor groups before enabling the filter feature in Moodle.

In organising the groups for making after submission. The result of this step creates a dropdown filter where marker(s) can easily select a particular group or groups to mark. To add this marking/tutor marking group filter feature to a submission dropbox please follow the steps below:
