Learners can be grouped within the course. For example, you may consider splitting your Learners into groups for the following reasons:
📋
Load management: to distribute the big amount of course Learners between a few instructors. Learners get more personalized attention, and instructors can breathe easier. Plus, each instructor sees only their group's assignment submissions.
Note: For instructors to see only their assigned group' assignment submissions, make sure all Learners of the course have been assigned to groups, and all course groups have assigned instructors.
Group assignments: to team up your Learners for group projects and assignments.

Note: Ensure your group is made public for Learners to access the groups assignments.
💰
Purchased Access Type: to split your Learners into groups based on the purchased learning plan if you provide extra goodies to learners with premium plans. With groups, Learners can unlock exclusive perks like Q&A sessions and 1-1 live Instructor chats that won't be available for Learners on basic plans.
Blocking access: to create a special group that limits Learners' access to certain content that they paid for. It is useful when Learners drop out midway through a course but have already paid for part of it.
