Learning groups

Learning groups are spaces where several learners work together on courses. You can exchange ideas, ask questions, share resources and — provided the group is linked to a course — see the progress of all members.

Finding and joining a learning group

1. Go to Learning groups in the main navigation.
2. Browse the list of public groups, with filters:
3. Topic
4. Linked course
5. Language
6. Group size
7. For an interesting group, click Join — you're in immediately.

For private groups, joining only works by invitation — either by email or by a shared link, both of which you get directly from the group's creator.

Creating your own learning group

You don't need any special permissions — all learners may found groups.

1. Click New learning group.
2. Fill in the fields:
3. Name — e.g. "Project management Q1 2026"
4. Description — what it's about
5. Link a course (optional) — if all members work on the same course, they see each other's progress
6. Maximum members — limit the group size if desired
7. Visibility — public (anyone can join) or private (by invitation only)
8. Create.
9. Invite members — by email or by a shareable link.

Working in a group

Once you're in a group, you have two areas:

Group chat

• Messages to all members
• Share links and resources
• Ask questions, post answers
• Markdown formatting (bold, italic, lists)

Activity feed

If the group is linked to a course:

• Who completed which lesson?
• Achievements of other members are celebrated (e.g. course completion)
• You see at a glance who stands where — mutual motivation

When you've founded a group yourself

As the creator you can:

• Invite members and also remove them again
• Change group settings (name, description, visibility)
• Archive the group — messages remain readable, but no one can actively write anymore
• Delete the group — everything is removed permanently

Frequently asked questions

Do others see my progress in the course linked to the group? Yes — that's exactly the point of linking a course. Who just completed which lesson is visible in the activity feed. If that makes you uncomfortable, leave such groups or opt for groups without a course link.

Can I leave a learning group? Yes, at any time. In the group settings → Leave group. You can rejoin the group later if it's public or you're invited again.

Do I get a notification for every message? By default you get a notification per new message — you can adjust this in the notification settings or turn it off completely.

Can I invite people from other companies into my group? No — learning groups are limited to your own company, even public ones. A person from another company can't join your group.

What happens to messages when the group is deleted? Everything's gone — chat history, activity feed, group settings. If the history matters to you, copy the relevant content out beforehand, or ask the creator to only archive the group.
