Assign Group Leaders
Tip |
---|
Group LeadersFor each group, you can assign one group leader manually or automatically. A group leader has permission to edit the group’s name and |
remove/add group members. One group only can assign one group leader. |
If you create groups automatically, you will see the Leadership options to assign a leader for each group automatically.
You also can assign a leader for each group manually (if you manually create groups, you must assign leaders manually).
The Groups Created by Students

. You can view all activities within all the groups within their course, including groups created by students as noted in the Student Groups tab.
