- 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.
