Throughout your studies at Grand Canyon University, you will participate in a wide range of group projects known as Collaborative Learning Communities, or CLCs. To complete these assignments, your instructor will place you in a CLC group with a few of your classmates.

Once you are a member of a CLC Group, you will gain access to a team-specific forum for you to discuss and collaborate on the assignment. On the CLC Assignment Details page, click on the Group Forum button located in the upper right-hand corner.

NOTE If you only see an option to Join a Group, this indicates that your instructor has not placed you in a group yet. Reach out to your instructor for assistance.

Your team specific forum will appear below the assignment details. Only members of your CLC group and your instructor can see any responses within. To start a conversation, click the Add a Post button or simply click on a classmate’s post and click Reply.

NOTE When using emojis in your response, you will only be able to use special characters or the emojis provided through LMS. Using the emojis from your mobile devices or computer will cause an error message that displays Processing Request.

Submitting to LopesWrite

If you'd like to submit a document to LopesWrite, you can do so within your group forum. Start a new post and then click Browse to upload your document.

Once the document is attached, save the post as a draft.

Click the Submit to Turnitin button within the post. Once the report returns, you can post the reply if you would like to share the information with the group.

NOTE While the button says, Submit to Turnitin, your document will actually be run through LopesWrite, which is GCU's plagiarism checker. See our article on LopesWrite for more information on this system.
