What is the private group function?
The private group function in eCademy makes it easier for you to work with your trainees. With the private group function, you can group your trainees in a way that makes the most sense from a procedural and didactic point of view. Among other things, the function is used for internal differentiation and can support your didactic methodology.
At the start of your work with eCademy, no private groups are created in advance in eCademy. You alone decide how you want to group your trainees. You can always create new and different groups later, depending on your didactic plan.
Examples of groupings:
You can create a group with trainees who have similar training challenges and whom you want to provide with specific learning material.
You can create groups based on how your trainees learn together during their training: e.g. a group for the first year of training, one for the second year, etc.
You can control various didactic methods with the group function. For example, you can create a group puzzle using the group function.
These are just a few examples. You can create groups freely and creatively.
Note: The private group function is independent of the groupings that you may have had to enter once when registering with eCademy.
How do I use the group function?
Click on "Private groups" within the left hand menu of eCademy.
Click on "New private group" on the button.
Give the group a name and click on "Create private group".
Your private group has now been created. Click on the group to add trainees.
You can add a note to the trainees - e.g. "Please work through until dd.mm.202y".
Click on "+" to add (or delete) trainees to the group in the next step.
Now scroll through your trainee list or search for names in the search bar and click on ‘Add’ to add the relevant trainees to the group.
You can then create learning lists, for example, and add the participant group you have just created there.
