Student Groups
| Students can be organized into groups to work together on group projects and assignments. Each Group is like it's own mini course and has its own Discussions, Pages, Files, Collaborations, and Calendar for real-time collaboration. |

How can you use student groups in your course?
There are a number of ways to use Student Groups, but here are a few examples:
- Discussions - Using student groups provides a way for each group to have it's own space to converse about the discussion topic. Students can't see what other groups are posting.

- Assignments - Using student groups provides a way for a group to turn in one submission (file, PowerPoint, etc) for the entire group. Feedback provided on the assignment can then go to all group members.
