Tools Around Assignment Groups #17
Description
Canvas has some functionality around groups that can be annoying, so we'll want some tools to smooth it out:
- Create Groups
- Create directed or random groups.
- Send out emails to all group members.
- Send email on user's behalf?
- Communication via tools?
- Fetch Groups
- By Assignment
- By "Group Set" (a name that appears in the GUI, but not API).
- By User?
- By Name?
Some key use cases:
- We just created an assignment and need to randomly assign groups of X to them.
- Same as above, but create X even(ish) groups.
- Same as above, but we have a preset file defining groups.
- We want to message a group or all groups.
- This involves messaging (which we have not done before), so we may split this out into another issue for the future.
- We just want a file describing all group membership (with emails).
