Gold Bookmark About Joining a Group

Your instructor may ask you to join a group where you will work together with classmates on projects and assignments. Or, your instructor may assign you to a group and you may not have the option to join a group. You will not be able to sign up for a group if the "People" tab is not available in your course navigation.
