At TMCC we set up our webwork courses so that professors use the browser interface only. Our professors don't have shell accounts.

In this situations it seems that there's no reason to create a separate group for each course, as recommended in the webwork documentation.

Am I missing something, or can I just lump all courses in the same group, say WWKCOURSES ? (This would easy administration a little.)

Thanks,
Lars.

Hi Lars,

No, you are not missing anything. Setting up courses with separate groups is just of way of protecting one course from the actions of professors in other courses.
