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?

We use blackboard to accomplish this so teams is not needed.

This is of critical importance to my use of assignments in Teams. In several of my subjects, almost all written assignments are solved and assessed in groups. It is a must-have feature for students to be able to hand in one report on behalf of a group of students.

This topic is about group assignements in Teams for Edu, which are very common in Europe. A group of students works on an assignment and one students turns in the assignment on behalf of the whole group. The lecturer can give feedback on the assignment and can grade it. His/her feedback and grade are distibuted to the students of that group (and in the grade center to all concerned students).
This is functionality that is really needed in Europe!

Just a thought but many universities use Office 365 so faculty and students have OneDrive which can be configured in a variety of ways as a controlled group repository; GitHub comes to mind also. Both from Microsoft. Lots of other free cloud-based storage solutions out there as well. I feel I may be missing a key aspect though so please let me know about constraints I may be missing. Cheers!!

In our uni we have a lot of projects and group assignments. Mostly groups are fixed like 4 students together.

This is an excellent practice. We at our university also encourage group assignments.

Why is there no reaction of Microsoft on this item? 7 votes is not much, but the votes come from a very small part of the user voice: only educators... But it is really needed!
Thanks for starting working on this! -

This would be very helpful in a collaborative classroom environment. I would love to be able to have group submissions as well.

Assignements are great, its clear and have great functions, but for assignements where pupils works in groups its hard to use. I could assign the assignement just for the internal group leaders, who share it with their peers, and he/she turns it in when its time, but in a classroom it can be too much time to organise. It would be great to have an ouuortunity at the assign to... box as groupworks, and have a different system for that. Thanks

In our school, we value very much, group collaboration for complex assignment, and we would LOVE, if groups of students could be able to submit their assignments as a group instead as individuals.

The teacher could assign something to a small group of students and all would have access to edit the same document or they could create and turn in something that would be linked to all of their names in the gradebook.
