Google Classroom

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

For a while now we have been unable to invite groups to Google Classroom. I opened a ticket with Google and they have told me this is normal, they have removed the feature! When I search for the groups in classroom nothing is returned.

 

Has anyone has his please?

 

Thanks

You can add/sync students to a classroom with GAM. I run this as a scheduled task weekly so classrooms are kept up to date based on our Google Group membership.

gam csv groups.csv gam course ~group sync students group ~groupemail

 

groups.csv = list of all our google groups + group email address with the following headings:

groupmail = group email address

group = group name/alias

 

As groups change little during the year (i.e. its rare for new classes to appear during the year) this runs without intervention during the year.

Hi

 

You can invite groups through the invite student button in Google Classroom but you need to ensure that the group you're trying to invite is marked as visible in the GAL for it to appear in Google Classroom, i've just tested this myself using a student group in the admin and adding some test users to the group.

 

Searched for students and invited and in the list it doesnt show the group but the members of the group you have invited.
