At edX, we’re constantly evolving to make learning and development more efficient for your organization. That’s why we’re excited to launch Groups—a powerful new feature that gives admins more control and flexibility when managing learners.
What are Groups?
Groups is a powerful feature that allows you to create groups of learners from anyone in the organization, regardless of the plan they’re part of—whether it’s Subscriptions or Learner Credit. Groups are also not tied to a specific budget, giving admins the freedom to organize learners in ways that make sense for their organization.
With Groups, admins can:
- Filter the Learner Progress Report to track performance for specific groups.
- Streamline bulk course assignments and enrollments (available for Learner Credit budgets).
How It Works
Adding Learners to a Group
Learners can join a group once they become a registered user. A registered user is anyone who:
- Accepts an invitation to a budget (e.g., Learner Credit, Subscriptions).
- Is assigned and accepts the invitation to a course by an admin.
- Creates an account via Universal Link if your organization uses it.
Why You’ll Love Groups
For Admins
Managing learners just got easier. No more juggling spreadsheets or manually tracking progress. With Groups, you can:
- Bulk assign or enroll courses for Learner Credit budgets.
- See exactly who’s benefiting from edX with customized reporting filters.
- Filter Learner Progress Reports to track learner progress in specific groups.
- Take control of learner management with an organized, all-in-one solution.
For Learners
The Groups feature operates seamlessly in the background. Learners won’t see any changes, but they’ll benefit from the improved organization that helps admins optimize their learning journey.
Who Can Use Groups?
Everyone! While bulk enroll & assign is exclusive to Learner Credit budgets, all admins can create groups and use them to filter the Learner Progress Report.
What’s Coming Next?
Up next is the Learner Profile—a dynamic tool that will allow admins to view a learner’s budgets, groups, and enrolled courses all in one place.
