Group Assignments
Sometimes I like to have my students turn in their assignment as a group, so I only read and grade one paper from a group of 3 or 4 students. It would be great if Teams Assignments could support that. So that either the students or the teacher (or best them both) can choose who this assignment is for/from.
Hope it makes sense?

I'd really like to see this functionality come into Teams. We promote group work all the time in education, so we need the assignment tool to support it.

Would be great to be able to make groups from the students within the team. When one student submits it is linked to all the students in the group and any marking is then also the same.

Collaborative learning is very important, and it would be nice to see the collaboration beyond the shared spaces in the class notebook. There are some work-arounds to help facilitate the assigning and collecting of group work, but it would be much better for students and teachers to establish consistency with assignments (group or individual) being doing through assignments.
I have a project that my students are working on and being able to attach their group research document and group presentation would be awesome instead of having to have each student make their own and then share it with me. This takes the work outside of Teams, which brings the space to less of a "classroom hub" like it should be. -

Very good idea! Group assignments are available in various LMS (eg Moodle) and are very often used by lecturers at our university.

Capability for group assignments is critical! Else we are entering grades manually for all team members, and changing them the same way as needed. My university-level class has both individual and group assignments and I need to be enable the groups to submit a single paper for all of them. Thanks.

As it s already possible in OneNote Classnotebook to distribue pages to a specified group or sub-group from the class, it would be even better when TEAMS could use the same groups from OneNote or vice versa

This would be an exceptionally helpful feature for my university level language and humanities courses. Fully a third of some courses assessment is based on group work.

I'm in 6th grade and I feel this is necessary to have if we find it to hard but the teacher can monitor us so we do not get off track

This would be very helpful, it is the number one difficulty I face in almost any LMS.

On a university level, it is extremely common for students to work in groups and turn in a shared output. At the moment, Teams offers no support whatsoever for this: not tracking of groups, no shared submissions, no shared grading. If you look at LMS, it is a standard feature there, because they actually understand the needs of their target group.

For sure this would be stunning, when we're completely learning and working from home in higher education, we're very much more dependent upon groups working together to complete assignments, though of course, only one student submits their assignment. In this case, we need to duplicate, triplicate marks accordingly for their peers, when the idea of a group submission and group marking, would significantly streamline these processes.
