Group tools

Your instructor chooses which communication and collaboration tools are available to your group. If you want to use a tool but don’t find on your group’s page, ask your instructor to enable it.

Group Tool	Description
FileExchange	Group members and instructors can share files in this area. All members can add and delete files, regardless of who added them.
Group Blog	In the group area, all members of a group can create entries for
	the same blog and build on each entry. All course members can read and comment on a group blog, but they can’t make posts unless they are members of the group. Instructors can choose to grade group blogs. All group members receive the same grade.
Group Journal	In the group area, all members of a group can view each other’s entries. Only group members and instructors can view a group journal. Instructors can choose to grade group journals. All group members receive the same grade.
Send Email	Group members can email individual members or the entire group.

You can’t create folders in file exchange. With your group, decide how you want to name files so that they are easier to locate in a long list.

Add a file to the file exchange

Group Tools > File Exchange > Add File

Add a name for file you want to upload. Browse for the file and submit.

You can also delete any file if you wish. On the File Exchange page, select Delete in the file’s menu. But it would be good to keep all the files for any future reference.

Group Blog

All the group members can discuss about the assignment by using Group Blog. Once you are allocated in a group, you can see this function.

Group > Group Tools > Group Blog > Create Blog Entry
