Study Groups
View Faculty Instructions

Study Groups facillitate collaborative work among members of small groups. They are created, deleted, and populated with students and visitors by faculty and are accessible only to those members rostered into the study group which is usually 5-6 class members.

Within each study group, students and faculty may

• participate in conferences available to study group members only
• create and edit collaborative documents in which members contribute to a common document in a WebTycho text box
• attach files that do not work as collaborative documents in and of themselves (e.g., spreadsheets) but may be submitted with collaborative documents
• discuss projects in a live chat session reserved for study group members and your instructor.
• use e-mail links to faculty, teaching assistants, and students listed on the study group roster

Protect Your Work
Before submitting, students should make a copy of all work completed on a collaborative document in Microsoft Word or another program. This will aid in avoiding work lost to internet connection failure.

Study Group Conferences and Chat
Discussions take place in the group's private conference area and chat room, available only to your instructor and to your Study Group members. Study Group conferences behave the same way as Class Conferences.  The Chat Room will be be titled the name of the study group and available only to the group members and your instructor.

Members
To send an e-mail message to all or selected members of your group, click on Members from the study group submenu. A listing of all study group members will appear with links to their personal biographies.
