Bulk Create Course Groups

OVERVIEW

If you need to create a large number of course groups in a specific course, you can use the "Import" function in that course to upload a text (.csv) file and create groups in bulk. 
USE CASE EXAMPLE: 

Bulk creating course groups in a Learning Management System (LMS) for internal staff training can be highly beneficial in various scenarios, particularly when an organization needs to manage large numbers of employees and courses efficiently. Here's a use case example to illustrate its advantages:
