Creating Groups – Custom Group: Adding Members Manually
Good to use in setting up a course– Simplifies facilitation process– All groups established prior to start of course– All supporting tools established (chat,
discussion topics, etc.)– All you have to do is populate groups prior to
the assignment date

Creating Group – Multiple Groups: Random Group Population
Good strategy if groups are created after the course begins and random generation is appropriate

OR, you can use “Create Multiple Groups” option and create all groups at one time if you just want to have groups differentiated by a number (group 1, group 2, etc.)
![Page 24: WebCT: CE-6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568134ad550346895d9bc504/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Create Multiple Groups: WebCT Can Randomly Assign Members
Note: If you want WebCT to randomly assign members, create groups after the course has started. Otherwise, there are no students available to put in groups and you have to go back and add students manually.
However, create multiple groups can also be used in lieu of “Create Custom Groups” to avoid repetitive entry of information.
