icon in the lower right to open the Global Actions menu.Select "Create Group" to open the panel.
Enter a name for the group.
Add learners individually or copy/paste learner emails.
Optionally, set a start and end date for the group.
Select Save.
Consider naming groups by section (e.g., "English 9 - Period 3") so they're easy to use as LX filters later. Learners cannot see the groups they've been added to.
Pro Tip: Add Leaners by copying/pasting emails - names will populate automatically!
š¤ FAQs
Can I add learners to a group after it's created? Yes. You can add or remove learners at any time. See Using Groups in Beacon for more information on Groups.
Can learners see the groups they've been added to? No. Groups are a facilitator tool for filtering learners in Learning Experiences and progress views.
What's the difference between My Groups and Global Groups? My Groups are groups you create and manage. Global Groups are set up by your admin and shared across the school. You can use both as filters in Learning Experiences, but only My Groups are yours to edit.
