Grouping Students into Workgroups

Intended Audience

WSU instructors using Desire2Learn or those interested in using this instructional management system in the future.

Grouping students into workgroups

Groups allows the class to be broken into smaller congregations that functions as their own entity whenever you want them to. Typically, Groups are used to create a smaller, more intimate gathering of students for discussion boards or group projects. They are also often used in merged sections to define the students in each of the sections before the merge was applied.
