So you have a flashy collection of wonderful material, arranged efficiently, and assessed accurately. How can you ensure that students are involved and interacting with each other in a course?
This chapter brings together a loose collection of modules that will aid you to create harmonious student groups, allow users to be identified by relationship, help students manage their time, and get students to tell you what they thought of the whole experience.
Putting students into groups is useful, particularly when group projects need to be completed.

With self-nominated groups, students take on the responsibility for choosing which group they will belong to.
