Cetron allows you to create and manage groups, making it easier to assign courses, manage users, and streamline the administrative tasks on the platform. This guide will walk you through the process of creating and managing groups, assigning users to them, and linking them to courses.
What is a Group?
1
A **group** is a collection of users that can be managed as a single entity. Instead of managing users individually, groups allow you to: - Assign a course to multiple users at once. - Remove users from courses that have ended or users who have completed their education. - Simplify user management by combining them into a single group.
How to Create a Group
2
1. **Navigate to the Groups Tab:** - Go to the **Groups** tab in the platform’s main menu.
3
2. **Add a New Group:** - Click the **Add New Group** button.
4
- Enter a **name** for the group. This name will be visible only to administrators (you), not to the users. - Add a **description** to the group to help you remember its purpose. The description will also be visible only to administrators. - Click **Create** to save your group.
Adding Users to a Group
5
Once the group is created, the next step is to add users: 1. **Click Add Users:**
6
- You will see a list of all users currently on the platform. - Select the users you wish to add to this group. You can select as many users as needed.
**Important Note About the General Group:** If you want to add all users to the group, there is already a default group called **General**, which automatically includes all users upon their creation.
7
2. **Add the Selected Users:** - After selecting the users, click **Add** to add them to the group. The users will now appear within the group.
Deleting Users from a Group
8
**Select the User to Remove:** - Click on the user you wish to delete from the group. - Once removed, the user will lose access to all the courses they were assigned to via the group.
Adding Teachers to a Group
**What is a Teacher Role?** A teacher has additional privileges that allow them to manage the education process. Teachers can access the admin parts of the platform related to their assigned courses and provide feedback on assignments. However, they will only see users added to the same group as them, not all users in the system.
9
**Add Teachers:** To add a user as a teacher, select them from the list and click **Add**. Teachers will now have access to the courses and reports for the group they are assigned to.
Assigning Courses to a Group
10
Once users and teachers are added to the group, the next step is to assign courses:
11
1. **Go to the Courses Tab:** - In the **Courses** tab, you will see a list of all available courses within your organization.
12
2. **Select Courses for the Group:** - Choose the courses that will be assigned to all users in the group. - Teachers will also have access to these courses to see what they are teaching.
13
**If you remove a course from a group, all users in that group will lose access to the course.**
14
You can add a **description** or **rename** the group, if necessary, within the group settings.
Adding a Group to a Course (Alternative Method)
Alternatively, you can add a group to a course via the course interface.
15
1. **Navigate to the Courses Tab.** Go to the **Courses** tab and select the course you are interested in.
16
2. **Access User Settings.** Click on **User Access** within the course settings.
17
3. **Assign a Group to the Course:** - In the **User Access** section, navigate to the **Groups** tab, where you will see all the groups already assigned to the course.
18
- You can add a new group to the course from this interface as well.
**Synchronization Between Interfaces.** Both the **Groups** tab and **Courses** tab are synchronized, meaning that when you add a group to a course, it will automatically show in the course description under the **Groups** tab.
Conclusion
19
Managing groups on Cetron is a powerful way to simplify your administrative tasks. By grouping users together, you can easily assign them to courses, manage their access, and streamline your workflow as an administrator.
