Study group

A Study Groups is secure online community for students (and faculty) to study together, send messages to the group, and share files.

• Members can create unlimited number of study groups for FREE.
• Each study group comes with its own home page, discussion board/forum, member list, document center and calendar.
• The person that creates a Study Group (called the "moderator") will be in charge of the Study Group home page and other functionalities.
• The moderator invites other members to join the group by providing them with a Study Group ID and Access Code.
• Our Study Groups are fully protected for privacy and protection. Only members of a Study Group can access its resources (i.e. messages, files, etc.).
