Class Notebook - good practices for large groups

Anonymous

Hi, as a teacher I share the same subject with different colleagues. We're struggling with the distribution of pages to our pupils. We've got about 120 pupils, divided over 7 groups and 3 teachers.

At this moment we work in 7 different Teams, which all get the same course. That means for each page we make, we have to distribute it 7 times. It takes a lot of time to do so.

Is there a downside to working in 1 team with 120 participants? Our own IT-service states that it will slow down the Class Notebook a lot if we work in those large numbers.

Is there a faster way to distributing pages? Can we distribute entire sections in one go?

Thanks in advance

Dear ppo.84,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

Based on the description, you want to know the best practice of sharing class notebook section for large groups.

I would suggest you to Distribute pages to groups of students.

Distribute pages to groups of students

Create and save groups of students, allowing you to deliver different content based on learner needs or small group projects.

Open your Class Notebook and navigate to the page you’d like to distribute.
Select the Class Notebooktab, then Distribute Page > Group Distribution.

Distribute Page button with dropdown of actions. 3. If you haven’t created any student groups yet, select + New groupin the Group Distribution pane. 4. Enter a name for your group and choose students using the checkboxes next to their names. 5. Select Save.

Select checkboxes next to student names. 6. Now that your new group is created, select the Go back arrow. Select the checkbox next to your group, then Next.

Select the checkbox next to the group 7. Select the section of the students’ notebooks where you want the page to show up. For example: Quizzes.

Select a notebook section. 8. Select Distribute.

Notes:

Select View distributed pages to view status updates on pages you’ve distributed to students. You can close the distribution window at any time and pages will continue distributing in the background.

To create additional student groups, repeat steps 2-5 above. To edit a group’s name or members, select Distribute Page > Group Distribution. Select the arrow next to your group’s name, then Edit group. Save your changes or select Delete to delete the group.

Kindly check the article for more information about Distribute pages and sections to Class Notebooks (microsoft.com).
