How do I use groups as a student?

As a student, your instructor may assign you to a course group, or another student may include you as a member in a student group. You may also be able to create groups, join groups, switch groups, or leave groups.

Groups allow you to work together with other students. Group Navigation gives you access to group activities and files.

If there are any assignments assigned to your group, one member can submit assignments on behalf of the group.

On the Assignments page, you can view assignments assigned to your group along with other assignments.

If your instructor has assigned you to be the student group leader, you can edit the group name or add and remove users from the group. Learn more about managing groups as a student group leader.
