Getting started with GoConqr Groups

GoConqr Groups

• Many of our users already use our online study groups to keep in touch with classmates, assign tasks, coordinate class projects, share resources, study a particular subject or simply just to chat with friends.
• We want our users to get the most out of this ‘fountain of knowledge’ and engage in collaborative learning.
• With that in mind we have greatly improved the usability of the GoConqr Groups and carried out a redesign of their structure.
• Discover how to get the most of GoConqr Groups in the following slides
