Student groups are:
- A useful way to organize students together for batch purposes, such as enrolling a group of students in a summer school course or even sending messages to a group of students. For group enrollments, you can run the Group Overview and Group Progress reports to see summary information showing course grades and percentage complete by and detailed progress for the group in selected courses.
- Searchable on the Gradebook > Grading tab.
- A method of identifying students, for example, those students that may have a common goal, such as graduating the same year, or those students that meet every other Wednesday for a group study period.
- Transferable to another owner, for example, a teacher owning several groups must take a leave of absence from the school. The teacher or administrator user can transfer the groups to a new teacher.
