Designed to ease the burden of administering assignments, GroupMaker favors functionality over availability, which is why GroupMaker is an internet-based application, requiring Microsoft Windows, rather than a web-based system that depends on a browser. For those without Windows, Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching includes Windows, which students may download for installation on Macs, provided they are students of an institution that subscribes to the program.
Students register individually into GroupMaker and may be assigned to groups. The instructor sets assignments that are designated either for individuals, groups, or the entire class. Each assignment includes instructions, form, character-number limit, and privacy settings.

The original video is about 50 minutes long, but you can cut playback time down to about 33 minutes by clicking the 1x speed selection icon on the bottom right of the screen and selecting 1.5x.
