Experiment Group Configurations#
Your Open edX instance assigns learners to each experiment groups within a group configuration.
Experiment group assignments have the following characteristics.
Dynamic
Your instance assigns a learner to an experiment group the first time they view a content experiment that uses the group configuration.
Random
You cannot control which learners are assigned to which experiment group.
Evenly distributed
Your instance keeps track of the size of experiment groups, and assigns new learners to groups evenly. For example, if you have two experiment groups in a configuration, each group includes 50% of the learners in the course; if you have four experiment groups, each group includes 25% of the learners.
Permanent
Learners remain in their assigned experiment groups regardless of how many content experiments you set up that use the same group configuration.
