Overview of Groups Management

Important Facts about Creating Groups

• Creating a Group is an easy way to keep track of students. Groups can be organized any way you choose, such as class sections, grade levels, differentiated small groups, etc.
  

• Groups can be created and shared across multiple licenses. A license is generally defined as a location (i.e., a school, a district, or an agency). Examples of shared Groups:

  • A teacher teaches in more than one location and may have access to more than one license.

  • A student learns in more than one location and may be given assignments across multiple licenses (i.e., from multiple teachers).

  • Team teaching occurs across different licenses, such as across a school district.
    

• A district can build Groups across licenses and then generate reports specific to that Group (i.e., ESL students across a district).

  • In a multi-license, shared Group:

    • You can see a list of all of the members in that Group.

    • Group members with whom you do NOT share a license will be grayed out.

    • You can only edit, remove, and assign Lessons to the Group members with whom you share a license.

    • When assigning a Lesson to a Group, only users (i.e., students) will receive the assignment, not staff nor admin group members.
      

• Teachers can view other teachers' groups but not edit.
  

• District Admins and School Admins can edit a Group and add/remove students with whom they share a license.

Example

• Mr. Winston is the logged-in staff user.

• He can edit the Group that he owns.

• He can view other groups created by other users with whom he shares a license.

• If Mr. Winston clicks on the Group owned by Janice Cox, he can see all of the Group members.

• However, he can only edit (i.e., click on) the group members with whom he shares a license.
