Create our personal Yahoo group

To get start with a new Yahoo group, we first have to get in to http://groups.yahoo.com.
We then have to click on “Start your group”.

Step 1: Select a Yahoo! Groups Category
A list of Group Categories is displayed for our selection. Since we have to create a personal Yahoo group for ourselves for assignments uploading purpose, we select “Schools & Education”. Under Schools & Education, we then choose “By Subject” as our sub category & “Place my group here” to define our personal Yahoo group under this category.

Step 2: Describe Your Group
We have to enter our group name which will appear on our group page and in search results. After that, we have to put in your group email address which, when we send a message to this address, all members of our group will receive a copy. Then, group description is required as well which will appear at the top of our group page.

Step 3: Select your Yahoo! Profile and Email Address
Our email address displayed here will receive group messages by email.
Our profile here will be used when other members want to learn more about us.
Last step, we have to gone through word verification to prevent automated registrations.

After going through all those steps shown above, our personal Yahoo group is considered as being created successfully.
We can see our group name, group home page & group email displayed.

Since we have created our personal Yahoo group, we have to invite our course mates & lecturers to join in to our group so that they can see our content inside (assignments, personal details etc)
To invite others to join our Yahoo group, we select “Invite People to Join”. After entering emails of those people we wish to invite, we click on “Submit invite”, and those who are invited will receive our email invitation then.

That’s all about creating a new Yahoo group & inviting others to join our groups.
Thereafter, we can actually upload our own assignments in our personal Yahoo group, so that the mainly DPLI yahoo group won’t be so congested.
