Group lessons let students collaborate on practical activities, discuss results and complete agreed responses in Lt. Use them for laboratory work, case studies and other activities that benefit from shared input.
Choose the workflow supported by your course, then use the matching student and staff guides below.
Group login
Students sign in together on one shared computer using the Group Login tab. Each participating student enters their own credentials. The first student added becomes the group leader, whose lesson work determines what the group starts or continues.
- Student guide to group login in Lt
Form a group, start or continue the intended work, and finish the session. - Staff guide to group login in Lt
Prepare the lesson, manage returning groups, and resolve membership or access issues.
Group sharing
One student opens the group lesson through the course's configured LMS link or institutional sign-in and shares the agreed group work with participating students. Each recipient signs in to their own account to preview and accept the completed work.
- Student guide to group sharing in Lt
Share, review and accept the correct work. - Staff guide to group sharing in Lt
Set up sharing, plan acceptance before the deadline, and review student progress.
Adding a recipient is not the same as acceptance. Every recipient must review and accept the shared work to be included and receive credit.
Enable a group lesson
- Find the lesson in your course and select Edit Details.
- Enable Group Lesson and save the details.
- Add instructions for your chosen workflow at the beginning and end of the lesson. Use the group work instructions template below or write your own.
- Publish the lesson and configure availability for the intended students or sections.
- Confirm that every participant has access to the course and lesson, and that your instructions match the sign-in route students use.
Enabling Group Lesson alone does not guarantee that every login or sharing option is available. Check your course's entry route before giving students instructions.
Add clear instructions to the lesson
At the beginning of the lesson, explain how students should form their group or share the work. At the end, remind them how to check their work and complete the required submission steps.
- For group sharing: allow time for every recipient to review and accept the completed work before lesson availability ends.
- For group login: remind students to check group membership and the intended leader's work before starting or continuing.
