Guide to groups
Select which option you would like to find out more about:
What groups can be used for
Groups can be used to organize students in your class/school roster into smaller sets.
Example scenarios of how to use groups:
You teach a grade 2 class made up of three different ability groups. Create a class for your students. Then create a further three groups for your three ability groups.
You have Mathematics, reading and writing sets. Set up a class for mathematics. Then create a reading and writing group.
You want to view all the students in a year group at one. Set up individual classes as normal. Then create a group for all the students in that year. This will allow you to see how a whole year is progressing.
