I don't think it is a practical setting to add student one by one to the weekly assessment group. For example, I have 30 students in each group, 60 students in total. Then I have to add every student, one by one, to the weekly assessment group before class and remove them one by one again from the assessment group. You can imagine how time consuming it will be. If we can add and remove the whole group to and from the weekly assessment group that will be better.

Hi Sam,
Previously, students had open access to the assessment tasks. From this term that will no longer be the case. Teachers will now have to give students temporary access to individual assessments long enough to complete them, then remove access to prevent students from doing multiple attempts in one go. You can raise this point at your next Network Meeting to discuss further.

Hi, can you explain this more? I don't understand why we have to add class to weekly assessment groups ? Aren't the students automatically added to the weekly assessments ? (I teach online only btw)
