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?

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.

YES!! I can only distribute to the whole class individually or to the whole class to collaborate. I would like to be able to create groups (or students be able to) and then distribute (or even send assignments) to the GROUPS. And these groups should be able to change, since there are several group activities and not always the same group. Gets complicated with the current setup.

An advanced feature would be a rubrik for the group as a whole and a seperate rubrik for group members.

I'm also hoping for a group assignment function. Would be great if the students themselves can register who is in the group when they submit their assignment (this would help us in situations where you divide into groups, but maybe one person is ill or for antoher reason not taken part in the groupwork). Then you can write feedback to the whole group and the assignment will appear in the overall assignment overview. Please please please fix this!

Another vote/plea for group assignment functionality. I teach in a university Professional Writing program, and part of the program profile is collaborative work. After all, as another commenter has observed, in the "real world" of professional writing and content creation, everyone works in groups. Our educational platforms should reflect the learning objectives--we need group assignments.

We have multiple group projects and it would be great to be able to give a grade and comment to the group as well as the ability to make individual comments to someone in the group.

Implementing this would make my life as a teacher so much easier. Please make sure that this is implemented soon as it makes using other apps we are technically not allowed to use in our classrooms obsolete.

This would be great. I put together a bit of a work around by using a link to the Class Notebook Collaboration space, but that isn't as easy to use. I would rather this as an option.
