Study groups in Stud.IP are comparable to a course or seminar. They form a digital learning space that enables students to learn or work on content together and exchange ideas. Study groups differ from courses or seminars in that they can also be created by students themselves.
In a study group, for example, files, literature lists or other information can be shared with each other and messages can be sent to all members. Exchange via a forum is also possible. In the following, we will introduce you to the essential functions of study groups and give you tips on how to use them.
