Google Groups (Groups) is a mailing list manager available as part of Google's Apps for Education suite of services. Groups makes it easy for CWRU departments, project teams, student groups and other organizations to collaborate and communicate.
Groups records the communications between group members in topic-based forums. Groups also provides users with the list of groups to which they belong and a directory of other groups available to them.
With Google Groups you can:
- Create a distinctive email address for student and special interest groups.
- Communicate with all participants in a group by emailing a single address.
- Record group communications in an online discussion archive.
- Moderate member posts and assign posting privileges.
- Share administration tasks between members and manage member permissions.
