Student groups

Create a class once and use it everywhere — scheduling, homework and colour-coding on the calendar.

A group is a named set of students — "Monday A2", "Grade 9", "Exam class". Make one and you stop ticking the same five names every week.

The New group dialog with name, colour, tutor and students

Creating one

  1. On the Students page, press New group.
  2. Give it a Group name.
  3. Pick a Colour — this is how its lessons are marked on the calendar.
  4. Choose a Tutor, if the group belongs to one member of staff.
  5. Tick the Students.
  6. Create group.

Using it

  • Scheduling — tick the group in the lesson dialog and everyone in it is invited. Works for a recurring series too, so a term's timetable is one action.
  • Homework — assign to the group and each student gets their own copy to do and hand in.
  • The calendar — group lessons carry the group's colour, so a busy week is readable at a glance.

Changing a group

Use Edit group to rename it, change the colour or tutor, or add and remove students. Delete group removes the grouping only — the students stay in your space, and lessons already scheduled keep the people who were invited.

Groups and individuals mix freely: invite a group and add one extra student to a single lesson.
