Group Participant Access Types for Students

Users with a Free, One, or Pro plan can create groups and invite participants to complete assignments in groups. There are three different settings for group participant access:

Login - Login groups require participants to register for a MirrorTalk account using an email in order to join the group and complete a reflection. There are two Login options, which offer different Dashboard experiences to Group participants.

• Limited Dashboard: Participants can visit the Dashboard to view their Understanding score and Lesson for each reflection they complete. Other scores and insights are only visible to the Group Owner.
• Full Dashboard: Participants can visit the Dashboard and view all insights and scores for each of their reflections. All insights and scores are also visible to the Group Owner. 

Session - Session groups require participants to be added to the group by name, with no email signup required.

• Participants in Session groups receive immediate feedback after reflecting but do not have access to the Dashboard.
• Participants can be added to a Session group in two ways: Group Owners can add participants by name via the "Manage Participants" button on the Dashboard, or participants can add themselves to a group by name when they navigate to an assignment link shared by the Group Owner.
• Group Owners of Session groups can view reflection cards for each user, as well as longitudinal data about participants in Session groups via the charts at the top of the Dashboard.

Open - Open groups do not require a user to create an account or be added to the group by name.

• Video is required for identification purposes for reflections completed in Open groups.
  Participants in Open groups receive immediate feedback after reflecting but do not have access to the Dashboard.
• Group Owners of Open groups can view individual reflection cards for each participant, as well as longitudinal data for their group.
