Interesting, Craig,   you are wanting to set a group assignment.      I don't think that can be done.      It would an awesome assignment feature.

 

I see it working two ways

A) Teacher sets the groups in advance

B) Teacher enables a function to allow students to choose members of their group.  The teacher would set the minimum and maximum group sizes. The teacher would also choose if the group of students all share the same marks or if it will be marked individually.

Then when a student see's the assignment for the first time it will have a prompting question tell them that they need to invite a partner.     The new partner would need to accept the request.

 

Neat idea
