My Learning is populated with automatically generated groups within each module and programme area. These groups are based on cohort information in Misis, however, you can also create ad hoc groups. 

Creating custom groups

To access and manage the groups within your module or programme area, remember to Turn Editing On

1. In the Settings block select Users and then Groups 
   
   
   In the left column you will be able to see all the groups that are automatically generated based on cohort information in Misis. Learn more about these groups by reading our detailed guide [link here]
   
   
2. To create another group, click on Create 
   
   
3. Enter the name for the new group. 
   
   
4. Click the Save button

The groups that you have just created are "containers" ready to be populated. The zero in brackets next to the name indicates that there are no students placed in the groups yet.

The next step now is to populate these groups with the students. 

1. Select the group
2. Click on Add/ remove users. 
   
   
3. You can now select the students you want to add to the group. A list of students who are all enrolled in your module will appear in the right column called Potential Members. You can select individual students by holding down the CTRL key/ Command key on the keyboard and clicking to highlight the students you want to add into the group. 
4. Then click the Add button. 
   
   

With the group created, click on Back to Groups. The groups page will show the list of groups on the left with a summary of how many members are in each group. If one is selected, it will list the members on the right.
