Group management in the course
Within a course, learning groups are summarised in the group management area. This area provides central functions to manage and communicate with group members.
Open group management area
To open the Groups in the course area in the editing mode, proceed as follows:
Click on the Group management icon in the middle of the opened course page. |

The Groups in the course overview opens. In the left course navigation, the Groups area is expanded and highlighted in colour. The course navigation, in contrast, is displayed as inactive. The group overview in the middle area of the screen shows all learning groups of the course accessible to you. If there are no groups available to you in the course, an empty table will open. If there are already groups in the course, they will be listed in the table. |

To leave the group management area, select the Course icon in the middle of the page. You will then return to the simple group view in the course.As a result, the colour marking in the navigation pane is removed, and the left course navigation is reactivated. The group list is displayed in the simple view without function buttons. |
