Groups Overview
The Groups tool is used to organize students into small groups in a D2L course site. Instructors can then restrict discussion topics, content modules, grade items or other parts of a course site to a specific group so that it is only visible to its members. In addition, instructors can create group assignment folders that allow all students within a group to see feedback given on files groups have submitted.
