[Using Sakai] question on student sign up options

[Adam Marshall]

Doesn't the sections tool allow students to form their own groups?

Subject: [Using Sakai] question on student sign up options

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of faculty requests that are similar and I thought I'd run them by the group to see if anyone has discovered solutions.


  1.  A faculty member wants to have groups of 3 or 4 students do a video explanation of separate math concepts. He would like the students to sign up for their own groups.
  2.  Another faculty member has students sign up for a topic to do a final project and wants students to identify their first choice on the list. Only one topic per student so that when the first person signs up for a topic it is no longer available to everyone else in the class.
I have looked at the Group tool - no self signup available - and the Sign Up tool - limited to day and time slots. I also looked at the Quiz/Survey tool but this doesn't work either since the students can't see other responses.

Anyone else run into these types of scenarios and found a solution?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Linda
