Groups allow you to:

• Create a project environment, where students can work together on assignments, such as a written paper or presentation;
• Create peer feedback groups to allow students to learn from each other’s work;
• Split up large tutorial or lecture groups into smaller groups for a specific day of the week;
• Create discussion groups based on a specific group topic;
• Create groups for students with specific pedagogical needs;
• Create a group for every student, allowing them to create and update bigger assignments.

You can give every group its own:

• Locker (a group specific digital storage that allows a group to digitally share their files without interference from other students).
• Group discussion
• Assignment.

Students can be enrolled for multiple groups at once and you can decide whether the groups are automatically and randomly created by the Brightspace system, manually/using a CSV-file by yourself, or if you want to allow students to choose their own groups, by self-enrolling into their preferred choice.
