Overview

Educators (including class teachers) who will deliver small group tuition for students as part of the COVID intensive learning support program (CILSP) can create and edit student groups within PLAN2. This supports educators in:   

  • creating custom student groups
  • creating groups from across year levels and classes for different learning purposes
  • creating their own student groups without the need to have ALAN Administrator access

How to access Manage groups

From 'PLAN2 - COVID ILSP Admin'

  1. Log in to the ALAN homepage.
  2. Click the PLAN2 - COVID ILSP Admin link.

  3. In PLAN2 - COVID ILSP Admin page, select 'Manage groups'.

From 'PLAN2'
