Import a list of participants
To populate workgroups on Brightspace, you can import a CSV file. The only requirement is to properly prepare your file using the template provided by Brightspace ; )
I'll show you how!
To get started - download the CSV template below:
File format
Now, complete the file with the names of the students or participants. Follow the provided template (Action, Username, Org Defined ID, Group Name, Group Code).
All fields must be separated by commas, and each user's information must be on a separate line.
Do not use a header (line 1 provided by the template should be deleted when you no longer need it).
Import the file
Once the document is ready and saved, log in to Brightspace.
Select the course on which you want to create the groups.
Click on "Collaboration". Then click on "Groups".
Select the "import" option.
Select the group category from the drop-down menu.
Click on choose a file, then select your csv file.
Click on import and wait a few moments while it loads.
