Overview
Groups allow you to separate learners into various categories. You can view a list of existing groups, create new groups and/or create hierarchial relationships (or tiers) between groups. Learning activities such as courses, assessments, and Learning Paths can be assigned to specific groups of learners. Administrators can generate completion reports for all or specific groups or set up a user as a “Manager”, which allows them access to generate reports for a specified group.
