AMBOSS Educator Tool: Creating groups

Groups are the foundation of the AMBOSS Educator Tool. Use groups to organize your learners, assign them content to review and questions to answer, and view analytics. Add learners to a group manually or via an upload. Edit or archive groups at any time, and add other educators to groups to collaborate on assignments.

• Access and manage groups through “Institution groups” in the left-hand menu.
• Educators can create and edit groups, and add collaborators.

• Click on “Create a Group.”
• Enter a name for your group.
  • Use clear names like “Pediatrics didactics-Summer 2025.”
  • Changes auto-save when you leave the field.
• Add people to the group in two ways:
  • Manually:
    • Click “Add people”
    • Enter one or more emails separated by spaces or commas; only email input is supported.
    • Click “Create group.”
    • Learners receive email notification with access to current assignments.
  • Bulk upload using a template (for those with admin access):
    • Access bulk upload under “Institution users” in the left-hand menu.
    • Click “Download Template.”
    • Fill out the CSV file with the required information, ensuring the template format remains intact.
      • Required: email, role
      • Optional: name, cohort
      • Only learners and/or educators can be added.
    • For a successful upload, ensure the file format is CSV and includes 4 correct columns.
    • Click “Import CSV.”
    • Partial failures generate a file with errors for correction and re-upload.
• Click “Create Group.”
• Your group is now ready! Proceed to the next step in your setup.

• Go to “Institution groups.”
• Click the 3-dot menu, and select “Edit.”
• Change group name, and add or remove members as needed.
• Download member list: Export group member details as a spreadsheet.
• Remove members: Access to assignments and analytics is revoked and member account data is deleted.
  • Click the 3-dot menu next to a learner's name and select “Remove.”
  • Sessions remain but are unlinked.
  • Only admins can remove educators, other admins, and/or themselves.
  • Bulk removal not possible, contact support if needed.
• Save changes: Click “Save group” to save changes.
• Archiving groups: Archived groups are hidden by default but you can filter to see active, archived, or all groups.

Archived groups can't be un-archived or deleted.

The AMBOSS Educator Tool also lets you collaborate with other educators. Here's how to add collaborators to an assignment:

• Make sure the collaborating educator:
  • Is in at least one group with you
  • Is in the same group as the learners
• Select the collaborating educators when creating an assignment.
• Collaborating editors can:
  • View the assignment under “Educator assignments”
  • Access “Assignment insights” in “Data and Analytics”
• Collaborators do not receive email notifications.
