User groups can be used to communicate with groups of students, teachers, parents or a mix of all three.

Teachers can assign tasks to user groups, and mark their attendance.

...

Students, teachers and parents can only communicate directly if they are within the same class.

But there are situations where a wider communication between users is necessary, such as:

• school fete organisation between administrators, parents and students

• subject discussions between teachers

• book groups, etc.

Administrators can select specific users and add them to a User Group to allow this kind of communication to take place.
