5. Groups
5.1 Creating Groups
For students to begin playing the Simulation or Content Creator activities, the instructor must create a new Group. Groups allow you to keep student performance results separated by class, school, region, or any other grouping that you prefer. Students can join multiple Groups.
Use the Instructor Dashboard to create a Group.
- Follow the on-screen directions to choose your Group settings — including the specific activity you want students to play.
- Copy and share the 7-digit Group number with your students. Students will join your Group and be able to play the activity. Instructors can also use the Group Number to play as a student.
- When students join your Group number, they will automatically appear on your Instructor Dashboard. Rostering is automated so you do not have to input student names or other information.
- To allow students to play the same activity multiple times, you should create a new Group for each attempt.
- Follow the on-screen directions to choose your Group settings — including the specific activity you want students to play.
Students cannot play the Simulation or Content Creator activities until an instructor provides them with a Group Number — you must give students a Group Number. Students can log in to view the Tutorial Video, User Guide, and Book PDF before they receive a Group Number. This allows you to get students set up with their login accounts in advance of having them do a specific activity.
Instructors can play as a student by clicking PLAY AS A STUDENT. It is highly recommended that instructors play GoVenture for a few minutes to experience the options available in the program.
5.2 Group Settings
When creating a Group, you must choose the activity for students to play.
To have students play a different activity or repeat the same activity multiple times, create a new Group. You control when students are allowed to move from one activity to the other by witholding the Group numbers until you are ready for them to play.
When creating a Group, various options may be available.
5.3 Monitoring Students
When students join a Group number, their progress and performance will appear on the Instructor Dashboard under Groups & Reports > View Performance Reports
A summary table is provided with student names that can be clicked to view full details for each individual student.
