Sclipo launches Groups

Groups are key in education to boost knowledge transfer and networking. Today, there is hardly any learning without group work. Groups are used for activities such as study, research or exam preparation. This is why Sclipo built an application to help our members organize online Groups.

While creating groups our goal was to respond to the specific needs of teachers and students – needs which are not solved by generic group apps:
* Integration with courses: groups are often part of a course, which needs to be associated with a group
* Sharing of educational content: presentations, audio, video, images need to be easily accessible and shareable for members
* Live meetings: allow group members to meet live via video chat, white board, doc sharing and other live collaboration tools

We also believe that the networking potential is better on Sclipo than on generic apps – as all our members, activities and content are about education.

Here is how we responded to these needs. With Sclipo Groups you can:
* Organize online groups for activities like study, research, test-prep
* Assign courses related to the group. For example, if your group members are part of the same course, you can associate that course to the group
* Share educational content related to the group: documents, presentations, videos, audio files and images
* Conduct live meetings with the group members, and store and share the recordings
* Discuss with members on the group wall
* Invite and administer members
* Restrict group membership to selected people or make it open for everyone
