Using Groups in Moodle assignments to enable one piece of work to be submitted by a whole group of students

...

If you organise students into groups to work on collaborative projects with the idea of a single submission e.g. a joint presentation to be submitted on behalf of all of them, then Moodle assignments is ideal. Turnitin Assignment does not recognise groups which submit one between them (groups can only be used for sorting individual submissions for marking).
