A group in the LDS allows you to invite your team or organization to collaborate together. You can share learning designs with group members and co-design collaboratively.

1. Feed

Figure 10.8: The Feed

The feed, similar to social media, shows the most recently shared designs from your groups.

2. Search Groups

There are two types of groups: public and private. You can join a public group at any time, while private groups require you to send a request. As school-based groups are usually private, you can simply search for your school’s name to request to join.
