Student Groups sort students into smaller subsets within a section. They can be used to individualize assignments to only students in a given group, or for other sorts of classroom activities
For example, a teacher could create an accelerated group for students who would benefit from additional or more difficult assignments, or for those who may need remedial work.
Individualize Assignments by Group

Use student groups to give assignments to only a subset of students in a section. The assignment only appears for the students in the selected group; all other students are automatically marked as exempt in the Grade Book.
