Groups are a great way for educators to organize multiple Topics and share them with a group of learners. Once an educator has a Topic, they are able to add Topics to the Group and share all the Topics with a Group Join Code or Link.

Creating a Group

1. Within Discussion, select the Groups tab
2. Select the blue Create a Group button
3. A Group cover image is automatically chosen for you but you can select Change cover image if you would like a different one. 
4. Add a Group Name
5. Add a Group Status : Active or Hidden
6. Select Group Notifications if you would like your Group to receive email and comment notifications
7. Add Students to using Student Emails or Student Usernames  or  Google  Classroom
   • Student Emails: Students can join with a specified email domain (@example.com), or add specific email addresses (student@example.com).
   • Student Usernames: If students do not have emails, educators can create unique Student Usernames for students to join.
   • Google Classroom: Students who are in the Google Class roster can join.
8. Optional: Duplicate Topic(s) you've already created to the Group
9. See what the Group looks like to your students
10. Share the Group Join Code or Link with your students
    • Educators can also share a QR Code to the Group, embed the Group, or share to Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, or Remind

Note:

• Duplicating a Topic to the Group does not copy the video Responses or Comments. Learn how to add a Topic and it's Responses and Comments here.
