Course Groups allow instructors to create groups of students within a course. These course groups have their own spaces equipped with tools to assist in the collaborative process.

Learn about the different ways you can deliver groups in your course and how to use the tool to your advantage: Groups [Best Practices].


All Users Groups
An easy to use tool to: view which groups students belong to, search for users, add multiple users to a group, and delete users from groups; in one place, on one screen.

Creating A Group
Each group has its own space, or homepage, with links to tools to help students collaborate. Only the instructor and the group members can access the group tools.

Creating Group Sets
When naming a set of groups, the name of each group has a number added to it when they are first created. For example, a set of groups named “Research” results in groups named “Research 1,” “Research 2,” and “Research 3,” depending upon the number of groups in the set. You can edit the group names after they are created.

Creating Self-Enroll Groups
Students add themselves to a group using a sign-up sheet.

Editing And Managing Groups
Editing allows you to add or remove members, as well as change its name, availability, and tools.

Adding Group Links To Content Areas
When you add a link to a specific group in a Content Area, all students will see the link, however, if the student is not a member of the group, he or she will not be able to access the group homepage.
