Groups – Bulk enroll and unenroll users by CSV file import | (delayed until July release)

Instructors can now bulk enroll or unenroll learners in existing groups using a comma-separated values (CSV) file in the Groups tool. This feature adds a new Import button to the Manage Groups page and an Import option in the Category drop-down menu. Clicking Import opens a guided workflow with detailed instructions for correctly formatting the CSV file. Each line in the file must represent a single action: either enrolling or unenrolling a learner from a specific group in the course. Only learners currently enrolled in the course can be modified using a CSV file.

Once uploaded, the system validates the CSV file. If the file contains no errors, the enroll or unenroll actions are performed and once completed, the import results are displayed immediately. If there are any errors found in the file, the process stops and generates a list of errors found.

Cancelling the process does not reverse completed actions. Only one import process can run at a time.

Administrators can configure the CSV file format in the Form Elements tool using the new form element BulkGroupEnroll. The following form element properties are customizable:

  • Username
  • Org Defined Id
  • Group Name
  • Group Code

Either Username or Org Defined Id, and Group Name or Group Code, are required to ensure there is enough information to complete the enrollment or unenrollment action.

The new workflow is available to roles with the Groups and Sections Management > Create/Edit/Delete Groups and Categories permission enabled.

This feature implements the following PIE items:

  • D8710 (Group enrollment from a file)
  • D7963 (Improve Group enrollments for 100+ students)
  • D294 (Create Groups and/or enroll students in Groups using a CSV Spreadsheet)
  • D6790 (Enrolling students in groups)
  • D11671 (Allow instructor to bulk enroll students across ALL group categories at once)
