User Groups

Classes in the administration panel are platform-wide groups used to organize users for management purposes. They are distinct from course-level groups (which are created by teachers within a course).

User groups and Classes share the same interface. The only difference is the group type setting: choose "Class" to create a class (used for bulk session enrollment), or "User group" for more social groups that can have their own space in the internal social network. See Classes for details on session enrollment.
