Brightspace – Groups: Getting Your Students Set Up to Collaborate

Join us to learn various uses for “groups” within Brightspace, how to set them up for discussions and assignments, and how to adjust enrollment and other settings after they’ve been created.

With the Brightspace Groups tool, you can get your students working together. Although Brightspace Groups is not hard to use once you understand the settings, it can be intimidating to set up the first time you try. This workshop will attempt to demystify the process and increase your confidence setting up group activities. We will cover group creation options (manual, random, group size/number, etc.), how to create and later edit associated discussions and assignments, and how to manually enroll students in groups and/or adjust the enrollment later. We’ll also cover how to create groups of 1 for students to keep an online journal within Brightspace.
