How do I use and manage Groups?

Groups are independent of individual courses and can be used to host webinars, share resources, or build a learning community. You can link groups to courses, invite members, add notes, share events, and publish updates. 

A Group is a program created outside of your course ie a webinar.  

• Add a Group by typing @ and the name of the Group. When it appears click add.

For example: I have a Group called ‘Starting someone on insulin’. It is a webinar and a live course being advertised through eventbrite. If I wanted students in one of my diabetes courses to participate in this webinar then I would add this to the course.  Groups is discussed  in more depth under ‘Groups’ further in this document. 

For more information, Edit Group in the Coursebox User Manual.
