A group Owner or Manager can invite learners to join a group by using an Invitation URL link, a Group Add Code, or by sending an E-mail Invitation through the website. Learners must have a registered account and be signed into the website in order to join a group.
To access your group, click on your name in the upper right and select your group name from the drop-down menu. Click on the “Members” tab, and then “Invite Learners”.
To use the Invitation URL or Group Add Code, select the second option under Group Add Code on the left and click “Update”.
This will generate an Invitation URL and Group Add Code:
The Invitation URL can be copy and pasted into an e-mail or other document, such as a course description or syllabus. Invitees can follow the link or copy and paste the URL into their browser.
If they do not already have an account on the curriculum, they will be prompted to create one.
If they already have an account on the curriculum, they will be prompted to sign in to join the group.
The Group Add Code can be given to invitees to join a group without the URL. When they are registered and signed in to the website, they click on their name in the upper right and click on “Join or Create a Group” from the drop-down menu.
1. The invitees enter the add code and click on “Find Group.”
2. The invitees see the name of your group and must click on the “Join the Group” button. A pop-up window will confirm they have joined the group. To see future assignments, members would select your group name from the drop-down menu in the upper right. Assignments or information about the group appears on their home page.
To invite learners to your group using an E-mail Invitation, please follow these steps:
Click on your name in the upper right, then click on your group name from the drop-down menu.
Click on the “Members” tab, and then click on “Invite Learners”.
Scroll down to “Invite through E-Mail”.
Enter one or multiple e-mails.
Customize the Welcome Message if you wish.
