Groups & Group Work

This page contains questions specific to groups and group work in Brightspace.

How do I self-enroll into a group?  

First click Course Tools then Groups. On the groups page click Available Groups. Then select the group you wish to join. If not 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?  

First click Course Tools 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 click on it and view a list group members.

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

First click Course Tools then Groups. In the row of the My Groups table, there are columns for the group assignment and group discussions. Click the highlighted text in the cell to jump to that assignment or discussion (ie. click 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].
