Faculty - How to create one-on-one groups (instructor and student only)
The following instructions work best if you do not already have discussions setup in the course, so if you have already setup a discussion forum and topic, delete them and then come back and follow these instructions.
To create one-on-one groups for courses taught under the Second Chance Pell Grant program, do the following:
From within the course, go to Course Admin and then click on Groups.
Click on New Category.
Give the category a name.
Under "enrollment type" select "groups of #" and enter the number of users as 1.
Scroll down to additional options and select "setup discussion areas".
Click on "New Forum" and it will walk you through creating the forum and topic. IMPORTANT: You just leave "create one topic with threads separated by group" selected.
Give the forum and topic a descriptive name.
When finished, click on "Create and Next".
That's it. You should now have a discussion topic where the student can only see their own posts and your responses to them. They will not see any other student's posts, nor your responses to the other students.
