This session will introduce the groups tool in Brightspace. Topics covered will include setting up randomized group sets, creating manual groups and assigning students to them, and creating group signup sheets so that students can self enrol. You will also learn about the different ways that groups can be used throughout the learning environment after they have been created, such as group discussions, group dropboxes and group release conditions. This session will also introduce, at a basic level, the intelligent agents tool as well as the user progress tool.
