How to Create a Participant Group and Assign it to an Assistant

Participant groups are a setting that allows you to divide and assign specific students to a particular assistant within a learning product. This simplifies student management, enables assistants to work more efficiently with their audience, and improves the organization of the learning process.

An assistant may have access to all participants in a course; in such a case, creating a separate group is unnecessary. System Groups for each assistant are also created automatically—more details about system groups are available in a separate article.

This article will review how to create a group and manually add participants.

1. Accessing the Group Creation Menu

Open the Courses menu and navigate to Team, Assistants, and Student Groups.

Open the Groups: Participants tab.

2. Adding a New Group

Click the + button to create a group.

Select the name of the product to which the group will be linked.

Enter the Group Name

The name can be arbitrary. It is recommended that the assistant's name or the tariff name be included.

3. Assigning an Assistant

Under the group name, select the assistant from the list using the + button.

This assistant will have access to the group and be able to work with the students. You can also add multiple assistants who should have access to the group.

4. Adding Participants to the Group

The left list displays participants who are currently part of the group. Initially, it will be empty.

The right list displays all available users in the product. Students can be filtered or searched, for example, by email or name.

Clicking the arrow to add participants moves the selected student from the right list to the left list.

After making all changes, click Save to update the group participant list.

This function allows you to structure the learning process and effectively organize interactions between students and their assistants.
