Group Mode Limitations

If the course or the assignment is in ‘Separate Groups' mode, notifications for late submissions are sent only to the group’s assigned teacher.

Who receives notifications:

• Separate Groups:

  • A Teacher or Teacher (Editor) assigned to a specific group will only receive notifications for students in their group.

  • A Teacher or Teacher (Editor) not assigned to a group will not receive notifications.

• Visible Groups:

  • Notifications are sent to every Teacher and Teacher (Editor), but Teachers can only view and grade submissions from their own groups.

• No Groups Mode:

  • Every Teacher and Teacher (Editor) in the course receives notifications for late submissions and can view and grade all submissions.
