Group Collaboration Sessions have additional features available in the menu of the Collaboration Tool. These features include a Record menu to create session archives and an End option to end a session. All group members have an Instructor role in a Group Collaboration Session; therefore, they can all access these features.
Note: These features are only available to Students during Group Collaboration Sessions.
