Groups in LernCampus24
Groups are the central element for course assignment. Courses are assigned to groups, not to individual users. Users get access to courses through their group membership.
Why use groups?
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Efficiency | A course is assigned once, and all group members receive access |
| Organization | Structure by departments, teams, or topics |
| Flexibility | Users can belong to multiple groups |
| Overview | Clear assignment of courses to groups of people |
