Groups and group work

This page contains information on groups and group work in Brightspace.

How do I self-enroll into a group?  

First select Course Tools on the navbar then Groups. On the groups page select Available Groups. Then select the group you wish to join. If no groups are available or you are unable to select a group, contact your TA or instructor.

Can I see who else is in my group?  

Select Course Tools on the navbar then Groups. On the groups page you can scroll down to view My Groups, these are groups you are actively enrolled in. If the number in the group members column is highlighted blue, you are able to select it and view a list group members.

Where can I see my group discussion areas or assignments information? 

First select Course Tools in the course navbar then Groups. In the row of the My Groups table, there are columns for the group assignment and group discussions. Select the highlighted text in the cell to jump to that assignment or discussion (ie. select the assignment name in the group row to jump to the group assignment).

Alternatively, go the Assignments or Discussions tool and scroll through the table to view your personal and group assessments. Group assessments will be indicated by the title Group #: [assignment name here].
