2. Why add groups and groupings?
• Groups and groupings allow teachers across an entire cohort to post
resources and activities to a course that can only be seen by their own
students
• Groups and groupings also allow teachers to select particular students in
a list of the entire cohort when marking a quiz, activity or assignment
• This may also be useful for classes in the same subject where students
are covering different material (i.e. texts in English)
• It may also be useful for differentiating content without unduly drawing
focus to students who require additional scaffolding, instructions or
other support.

10. 8. Adding groupings after you have established
your groups – this will allow you to restrict
resources and activities to particular classes.

changes
13. 11. Click the icon of the people in the EDIT box under
the GROUPINGS screen, then select the group you
want to add to the grouping and click add.
14. 12. Click BACK TO GROUPINGS
• You now have the ability to group resources and activities – this
will be an option when you are setting up the activity.
• This may seem like a long process, but if each teacher looks after
their own group and grouping set up, it will not take a long time.
