Team assessment

Overview

A team assessment is an assessment type that allows groups of learners to work together on joint submissions.

The instructor organizes learners into teams, each of which gets their own private group. Each team uses their group for collaboration and creation of their submissions. After the team submits their work, the instructor can grade each learner based on their participation and the team's overall submission.
