Access Group and Section Filters
Begin by going to Activity or Grades & Activity.
If the assignment is configured for groups or sections, you will see the option to use the filter.
A few things to keep in mind:
- If you filter down to a particular group and begin viewing student work, you will only be able to see students who are in the group.
- If you wish to switch to a different group, you will either need to:
- Use the group/section filter to select "All Groups/Sections," switch to a student from a different group, and then select their group name from the group/section filter.
- Go back to the top-level activity view and use the filter to jump directly to a different group.
- Instructors will show up as members of all groups.
