Users&Group Management

The system allows you to work with users who are enrolled into your course. The Teacher can add and manage user groups, add users and enroll them into his/ her own course.

Each Student enrolled into your course or course Assistant belongs to a certain group. By default for each course the system creates two user groups: Teacher assistants and Users without group. When a new Student is enrolled into the course, s/he is added to the group called Users without group. Later on the Teacher can create new groups and move Students to the necessary one.

To work with the list of user groups, enter the necessary course and click the Users & Group Management icon () in the top course menu. The system will display a list of available user groups:

Use the icons at the bottom of the list to perform the following operations:
