The Group Page

Last Update: February 17, 2007 | Other help documents

Groups let you collaborate with other Quizlet users in a organized and intelligent way. They are perfect for students who share classes and want to reduce the amount of overlapping work they do. Whe

Receiving Email

Quizlet has the ability to email you whenever a set is created for your group. When a member of your group creates a set and marks it as for your group, all members of your group who have turned on notification will receive a brief email from the Quizlet robot. You can edit your notification preferences at the bottom of each group page, or all at once at the Preferences page.

Modes for joining groups

The creator of a group is allowed to choose between three modes for allowing

  1. Allow anyone to join

    This mode has no restrictions on who is allowed to join

  2. Password mode

    Choose this mode to restrict membership to only those people who enter a password.

  3. Approved members only

    When a person applies to an approval-only group, they enter a short paragraph explaining who they are. Then, the creator and any managers are allowed to approve a member. They will receive an email alerting them about the applicant, and whenever they log into Quizlet a notification will appear.

If you want your groups to be allowed to edit your sets, it's a good idea to make a group password-protected or approved-members-only.

User Roles

Deleting groups

Groups are automatically deleted when the last member of a group leaves. If you are administrator of a group you would like to delete, you should first remove all other members from the group and then leave the group yourself.
