To assign a specific assignment to a group of students in Moodle, use the Group assignment option. Groups are especially useful for activities in which students interact with one another because they allow students to collaborate on a single assignment. When grading, the teacher can either assign a single grade and provide same feedback to the entire group or assign individual grades and feedback to each group member.
