A learner is invited to a group by a group Owner or Manager. This is done via an Invitation URL link, a Group Add Code, or an E-mail Invitation. Learners must have a registered account and be signed into the website in order to join a group.
If you received an Invitation URL link, click on it or copy and paste it in your browser. Or if you have received an E-mail Invitation to join a group, click on the link at the bottom of the message. If you already have an account on the website but are not signed in, you will be prompted to do so. If you do not have an existing account, you will be directed to register. If you are already signed in to the site, you will be directed to the “Join a Group” page
To use a Group Add Code, sign in to the website, click on your name in the upper right, then click on “Join or create a group” from the drop-down menu. On the next screen, find “Join a Group” on the left and enter the Group Add Code, then click on “Find Group.”
Following any of the methods above will bring you to the “Join a Group” page on the website. Here, you will see the name of the group, its purpose (if available), and the group management team. Click on “Join the Group” on the right. If you select the “Decline Invitation” button, the group management team will not be notified.
