Say 👋 hello to BusyBee, your AI-powered learning & teaching companion for Buzz. Learn more!
Dawn allows you to divide learners into smaller groups within a course to:
- Facilitate collaboration.
- Enhance privacy for learners.
- Create cohorts of learners that can be time-based and limited in number of learners.
Including learners in groups allows them to message their group members all at once and filter their conversations by group.
