A simple overview of Bridge2Practice groups
Getting started with groups
The first screen for instructors in Bridge2Practice is the Groups Dashboard. This page is your homepage, and will display all the Groups of which you are a part.
What is a group?
Groups in Bridge2Practice can be classes, research groups or student cohorts. Group members are added by the instructor. Results from Activities performed by the Group will be compared across members within the Group.
First time users will find a generic Group titled My First Group already on their Dashboard. Clicking on the pencil (pictured below) allows the name to be changed.
If you have multiple Groups, you can switch between them by clicking the tabs located in the top panel.
The Group dashboard is split into sections:
Members: All the members in the selected Group, as well as options for display and sorting members
Statistics: Displays statistics relating to Group members, such as when uploads or responses occurred
Assigned activities: Displays Activities which have been assigned to a Group, with access to the individual activities, the ability to edit these Activities, and options to add, remove and create new Activities
The final element of the Group dashboard is the cog which contains options for changing Group Settings. Clicking the cog (pictured below) will bring up the Group Settings menu
The options are:
Public group: Group members will be emailed a link to join
No login access: Groups can be accessed without requiring users to have logged into an account
Archive group: Hides the Group from the Dashboard. Archiving Groups will not delete them
