Student Groups and Group Assignments

Students can be randomly or purposely assigned or self select into groups, projects can be submitted and graded by the group, and communications can be routed to group members. Another possibility is group online discussion, you an create a discussion board and have that broken down into smaller groups of students, see How do I set up a Group Discussion Assignment?.
