Faculty Self Service: Automated Google Groups and Course Folders for Course Sections

In addition to Moodle, Workday, and other tools, you may wish to create automated Google Groups or Course Folders for students enrolled in specific course sections. For more information about these options, please see our guide on Email Lists (link opens in a new tab) and our guide on Shared Course Folders (link opens in a new tab).

Requesting an automated group

1. Log into Faculty Self-Service (link opens in a new tab)
2. Select the course for which you would like to request an email group or shared folder
3. Select the services you would like made available for that course
   • Automated Google Group (more information here)
   • Course Folder (more information here)

Managing group membership

Anyone who is in your Moodle course (as a student, a TA, etc) will be included in your automated group. To add members to your automated group, add them to Moodle and then wait for that information to move into your automated group.

• New enrollments from Workday sync to Moodle overnight each night.
• Manual adjustments to the membership or roles in your Moodle course can take a couple of hours to sync to your Google Group.
