Groups and Sub Groups within StudySync allow teachers to create assignments for a targeted selection of students.

Note: The list you see under the Groups menu option includes Classes from Open Learning/ConnectED (indicated by  ). Changes/edits cannot be made to Open Learning/ConnectED Groups unless done so from the main class page in Open Learning or ConnectED. However, to further break down the classes, you can create Sub-Groups with Students from your Open Learning/ConnectED classes.
