Before GroupApp

If you are like most knowledge creators, before GroupApp, creating and managing an engaging online learning experience felt like a chaotic mess involving multiple apps, online course platforms, community tools, calendar apps, membership tools, and a whole bunch of zaps.

Your learners felt lost, figuring out which tools to use and where to go when they needed help or wanted to engage more.

You were left dealing with the headache of managing all these tools, keeping everything connected, and having to spend time redirecting students to the correct place instead of doing what you do best.

6. Segments

 GroupApp Segments are tags used to categorize members within your community. These can be used to control members' access to courses, channels, and library content hosted in your community.

For example, you can create a Segment called "IGNITE Students" and assign it to all members enrolled in your IGNITE program. You can then use this Segment to control access to your "IGNITE Program" channel. 

Only members with the "IGNITE Student" Segment will be able to access this channel.
