Courses are the central learning resources in OpenOLAT. They can only be created by instructors, students do not have the permission to create courses. Instructors can design a course using numerous building blocks.

Groups can also be created by students and used, for example, for privacy-compliant learning groups.

Group supervisors have full control over a group and can configure it as they wish (add or remove blocks, manage members, share or delete the group, etc.). When you create a group, you automatically get supervisor rights. You can also assign these rights to other group members via member management.

By default, group participants are all people who book the group. They can only interact with the existing blocks and can only view the information that has been released by the group supervisors.
