To separate students in a D2L course site when two sections of the course have been combined, you will first need to obtain a list of the course sections and the students enrolled each one.
Then, you’ll need to create a group for each section in D2L and enroll the appropriate students in it. Follow these steps:
- Go to the Groups tool in the combined course site.
- Select New Category.
- Enter a name in the “Category Name” field (e.g., Course Sections).
- Select # of Groups – No Auto Enrollments from “Enrollment Type” drop-down menu.
- Enter the number of course sections that have been combined in the course site in the “Number of Groups” field.
- Select Save.
- Select the category name you entered for step 5 from the “View Categories” drop-down menu options. (You can skip this step if you only have one set of groups in your course.)
- Select Group 1.
- Change “Group Name” to one of the course sections.
- Rename the “Group Code” text so that it’s the same as the “Group Name” text.
- Select Save.
- Make the same changes to Group 2, following steps 8-11.
- Select the dropdown arrow next to the category name you typed in step 5 (i.e., Course Sections), then select Enroll Users.
- Select the box to the right of each student’s name to enroll them in the appropriate group.
- Select Save.
NOTE: If any students are added to your course after you set up these groups, you will need to enroll them into their appropriate groups.
