Student GroupsIf your class(es) have groups of students in it that will receive different assignments than the other students, creating student groups can help you with this.

Student Groups allow you to take an assignment and assign it to a group of people in class rather than everyone.

Naturally, assignments are automatically assigned to the entire class (unless you apply a student group).

Click HERE to continue.

Click on Student Groups

Click on New

We’ve named this group ESL for you. Click Save to continue.

We’ve named the assignment Equations and the abbreviation is E1. This assignment is to be completed in the first term.
