My Groups Gadget
The My Groups gadget displays a stream of groups that the logged-in user is a member of, providing quick and easy access to their communities.
Groups appear in a carousel of up to three pages, with three groups per page, and are sorted by creation date from newest to oldest.
Group cards
Each group is displayed as an individual card, giving users key information at a glance, including the group title, number of members, and number of threads.
Selecting a group card redirects learners to the group’s Feed page, where they can view and engage with the group’s posts.
Selecting the View all button in the gadget redirects learners to the Groups page within the Social Workspace. On this page, the Groups you joined filter is automatically applied, allowing learners to easily explore all groups they are members of.
