Group Tools

There are selected tools available in Groups. Members can share files, connect via email, post to forums, create and edit wiki pages and post events.  

Group Materials

Materials allow group members to share documents, presentations, videos or links.  This creates a collection of materials that are relevant to the focus of the group.  Items from Materials can be bookmarked.  To learn more about Materials, visit the Materials Help Guide.


Group Members

This feature provides a view of group members and allows one to easily connect via email with someone from the group.  Clicking on the icon to the right of a member name will add an individual to your personal connections. Once you are connected with this individual the icon will change colors.

Group Forums

Forums allow members to discuss relevant topics among the group. You can comment on a forum post and also bookmark any forum post. To learn more about forums, visit the Forums Help Guide.


Group Events

This feature allows the user to create or post upcoming events within the group. Events can also be bookmarked.  

Group Wiki

Wikis are a powerful tool that group members can use to individually or collectively develop content.  Wikis offer a series of editing tools that create html ready content that is easily published within the site.  To learn more about wikis, visit the Wiki Help Guide.
