The Groups tool allows you to set up your students into groups so they can submit a group presentation to the Assignments tool, engage in a group Discussion, etc. With this tool, students can self enroll or you can assign them to individual groups.
The Groups tool can be complicated to navigate. It is recommended that you consult with an instructional designer to discuss the best way f0rward for your course.
Here is some information for you around how to create groups, and for your students on how to engage with the Groups tool.
