      Who can create and manage groups?

      • In your organization, users with the "Org Group Manager" permission can create and manage groups. This allows the Org Admin to assign a Group Manager to each school, department, or other relevant category.

      Suggestion:

      • Send an email to your principals and ask for 1-3 names of people you could make Group User Managers. When a teacher can't open one of the course or a learning paths that someone created or shared with their group, it is mostly likely that they are not in the school group.
      • The Group User Manager, can easily check this and add or remove users as needed.

      Org Group Managers

      Benefits and uses for Org Group Managers:

      • Up to date groups: Org Group managers will be able to keep groups updated when new hires join the district or when employees move positions or school from year to year.
      • Effective utilization of groups in MobileMind: Your district may not be utilizing groups in MobileMind since it is a huge responsibility for the org admins to handle. By using the Group Manager roles, you can hand that off to people who know their staff and the needs of individual schools. 
      • An instructional or technology coach can create and manage groups for the schools they work with directly.
      • A school principal can create and manage groups for new teachers, mentor teachers, specific grade levels, content areas, etc.

      Group User Managers

      Benefits and uses of Group User Managers:

      • Streamlined group management: Assigning group managers simplifies administration by delegating tasks. They can add, remove, and manage group members as needed throughout the year.
      • Organized communication: Groups allow for targeted communication within your organization.
      • You may have a new textbook adoption for grades 3-5. Training for this new adoption could be sent to just those groups.
      • You may have specific district initiatives for different groups. By utilizing the Groups feature effectively, each learner will only see professional learning that is directly related to their role.
