Group View

The Group View is where students, tutors, and instructors have the ability to perform most tasks for the currently selected group. The Group View can be gotten to by clicking the Home link in the Left Navigation Frame, then choosing one of the groups in the list. If you are only a member of one group, then clicking the Home link will take you directly to your group.

At the top of the Group View, there is some text containing the Group Name, the tutor's live schedule (if available), and what other features are available. Below this text you'll find some icons, similar to the NetTutor® logo. These icons are explained in more detail below. Below the icons will be the Group Notes and Site Notes. These notes are optional messages written by the group and site administrators to provide the users with information. If no notes are currently set, then you will not see these sections in the Group View.

All of the below icons may or may not be visible in your group because various parts of the group could be disabled.
