Instructors have the ability to section students into groups within their Lyceum course. This allows the restriction of certain activities, as well as assignment submission, to certain groups.

Creating Groupings

Groupings are groups of groups. If you have a course with multiple groups, this option allows you to categorize those groups. For example, a course with weekly group assignments could utilize a grouping for each week that contains all the groups from that week.
