 ===== Importing group list from CSV file =====
-This method is suited to grouping students in very large classes
-  
+This method is suited to grouping students in very large classes. It involves a similar process to importing students from a CSV file above.
+
+You should first prepare a CSV file in the following format:
+The column order is
+{{{
+Student#, Group#, Team Name
+}}}
+And the file contents is like:
+{{{
+29978037, 1, Team A
+29978063, 1, Team A
+29978043, 2, Team B
+29978051, 2, Team B
+}}}
+
+Please ensure that all the students listed have already been created in iPeer, and added to the class.
+
+Just like for the student import procedure, this type of file should be created in a text editor, like Notepad. You could also create this file with a spreadsheet editor like OpenOffice Calc, or Microsoft Excel, but make sure you set the CSV export settings correctly when saving the file:
+ * Comma character as the separator. 
+ * No quotes in rows or columns.
+
+Once this file is prepared, you are ready to import it into iPeer.
+
+ 1. Go to a course's home page.
+  * If the "Groups" menu is hidden, unhide it by clicking "show/hide" link to its right.
+ 2. Click on "Create Group (Manual)". This will open the group creation window.
+ 3. On the bottom of the page, there is a line stating Import Groups From Text (.txt) or CSV File (.csv) '''[+]''' Click on the orange [+] on the right of the page to continue.
+
+All you need to do now is just follow the instruction for importing the file:
+ 1) Please select a CSV file to import:
+   * Click "Browse..." and find the CSV file you created.
+ 2) Select the course to import into:
+   * Be sure to select the right course to import, since the list will likely not have your courses selected by default.
+ 3) Click the button bellow to create the Groups:
+   * After you are sure everything is set correctly, click on import. This will complete the procedure, and take you to the group listing for your course. The group creation process in now complete.
