There are two types of District sponsored groups.

Content Groups will be utilized by Division of Instruction (DOI) and Personalized Learning Systems (PLS) to facilitate the deployment of instructional content, provide a location for content based discussion and collaboration, and as a method for targeted messaging within the platform.  Content Groups will be monitored by the DOI Content Coordinators.  Access to District sponsored groups will be distributed via the PLS Website behind Single Sign-On (SSO).

User Groups will be created and their codes will be distributed to the LAUSD community at large.  These groups will be available to any LAUSD individual, but not to public or external users.  Codes will be shared via the PLS Website and placed behind SSO.  User Groups will be monitored by PLS team.
