      View Content and Student Activity within a Group

      As an instructor, you can view what is happening in groups by viewing each user group. You can view student activity within the group and view group-created content. You can also access student groups to create group collaborations and add other group-specific content if necessary.

      1. In Course Navigation, click the People link.

      People Index Page

      2. Click the name of the group set.

      3. Next to the group name, click the Options menu [1]. Then click the Visit Group Homepage link [2].

      Visit Group Homepage

      As the instructor, you can view all of the student activity within the group by clicking any link in the Group Navigation Menu [1]. You can also participate in any content area in the group, such as creating a collaboration for the group or viewing a group discussion. However, you can still create collaborations and group discussions from the course. Group members can also create their own content for the group.

      When viewing a student group, you can easily switch and view all groups within a group set by clicking the Switch Group link [2]. Also, instructors and student group leaders can view the Edit Group link [3], which allows quick access to edit the name of the group.

      To return to the course home page, view the breadcrumbs link and click the name of the course [4].
