Getting started with Groups

Once you have uploaded helpful multimedia resources to Engage, you will need to share them with your students via Groups in Engage. 'Groups' allows you to share resources with specific classes or student groups, and allows you to support your students after hours or in the lead up to exams. 📚📝 Once a user is added to a group, they will get access to all of the group’s resources in their Snapplify Reader app. It's as simple as that!

Creating a new group

To create a new group under the ‘Groups’ section in Engage:

1. Open the ‘Groups’ section when logged into Engage.
2. Click on the green ‘New Group’ button at the top of the page.
   
3. Give your new group a name and description, and then click ‘Save’ to create it.
   
4. Once your group has been created, you will find it listed under the ‘Groups’ section.
5. Click on your group to populate it with resources and users.

Adding a user to a group

To add a user to a group:

1. Log in to Engage and navigate to the ‘Groups’ section.
