Hi Susan,
I am cc'ing the answer to your question to the WebPA JISCmail list. I am sure that others on the list will be able to chip in and add to what follows, in addition in the future if I get the same type of question I can point them towards the list - and the answer.
Right - students can be added to as many groups as you create in the 'my groups' area, so yes students can be added to two groups. The structures of the group need not be the same. For example:
In the PBL group you may have student1, student2, student3 and student4. However, in the feedback group you may have student1, student5, student9 and student12. Then if you want further PBL groups then they too can be created and have the same students in different groups again.
I would suggest that you name your groups well enough so that you can distinguish between them with ease and not confuse them, when you are building the assessments.
I hope this answers your questions, but don't hesitate to get in touch if I have the wrong end of the stick.
Nic

Is it possible for students to be members of 2 groups? From what I've read
on the site I don't think so - but I need to double check. I need for
students to be members of 1 group (their PBL group) in order to assess the
students in that group. But I need them to then be members of a second
group for the feedback. The assessment feedback will be given to the
students by their Personal Advisor, who will have students under them that
are in multiple PBL groups - if that makes sense! Thanks!
