Properties
Instructors who desire to have groups of students collaborate on projects may utilize their course Group Pages feature as a tool for creating space for groups of students to have their own discussion board, virtual classroom or chat session, file exchange, or email list. Only the instructor and students who have been added to a group have access to that Group Page.
- Login into your course site.
- Click the Control Panel.
- Under User Management, click Manage Groups.
- Click the Add Group button.
- Type a group name and description.
It's good to include individual names in the description so students can
quickly identify which group they are in.
- You have 4 options for each group: Group Discussion Board, Group Virtual
Classroom, Group File Exchange, or Group Email. Check the boxes
next to the options you would like to make available
to the group.
Please note: If you select the Group Discussion Board option, you need to create at least one forum within that group’s discussion board before they are able to begin posting.
