Create a Community Group

A Community Group (CG) is a collaborative space where multiple users can work together on course-related content, much like a sandbox but designed for group engagement. Unlike sandboxes, which are for individual use, CGs allow for the addition of multiple users, facilitating shared course design or other collaborative activities. Who can access a Community Group is determined by the owner(s) of the Community Group.
