Once the group has been created, group messaging can be activated. To do this, click on Participants in the course navigation above and then select Groups from the drop-down menu (see “Manage Groups”, steps 1 – 2). This will open the group management page. Now select the desired group and click on the “Edit group settings” button (see “Manage Groups,” Step 4).

In addition to the general group settings that can be here, you can activate Group messaging (see “Activate Group Messaging”). This allows group members to send messages to the others in their group via the messaging drawer.

Afterwards the group messaging is accessible to all group members via the messaging system. To access the desired group chat room, click on the small speech bubble icon next to your profile name on the left and then select the Group section (see “Open Group Chats”). If you belong to multiple groups, you can view all available group chats here and select them individually.
