Create a group

Groups are useful in three typical cases:

1. share courses, sessions and paths to a set of users (instead of individually to each Learner);
2. track statistics per group;
3. create a community where people can help each other.

There are two privacy settings for groups:

• Public: anyone who is a member of the platform group can see who is in the group and what they post;
• Private: only members can see who is in the group and what they post.
