Unlike posting a blog entry to your normal account, groups works more similarly to the discussion forums.
When trying to post a new topic to your group, you may only create Forum Topics. Since forum topics have no word limit, you may post topics as short or as long as you like.
Currently, only members and directors of the Progressive U Alumni Association and its Faculty may create new groups.
However, if you're not yet a member of this association, you may suggest a new group to be created for you to join.
For the most part, you will have the option to list your posts as private (only visible my other members of your group) or public (all members of Progressive U will be able to read your post).
Whether you decide to make your post private or public will be up to you. Either option offers advantages and disadvantages depending on what you're trying to post.
On the listing of groups directory you'll notice that the managers of each group is listed by username.
There are virtually no limits to the types of groups to be found on Progressive U.
To see a list of currently active groups, you can visit this page.
Progressive U's mission is to foster an environment in which everyone is comfortable to discuss and share their opinions. With hope, the groups will help to reflect that mission.
A group provides a home page for people with common interests to share and discuss their ideas and experiences with other members. This is a wonderful way to expand your horizons, learn from other people with similar interests, learn about something new, or create new friendships with other members on Progressive U.
