Vary settings (content, due dates, grade weights, etc) between groups.
With groups created in Buzz, you can edit an activity's settings and content for each group to meet their specific needs or create group-driven schedules.
To create and manage group-specific activity settings, open the activity editor:
- In the groups filter in the toolbar, select a group to see its settings.
- With the activity editor filtered by group, all content and settings that are specific to this group are shown and any edits you make are saved and applied only when members of that group complete the activity.
- Click Preview with a group selected to see it as a member of that group does.
- Save changes with the group selected to apply them.
Enable "Each person in only one group" setting when using group-specific activity settings
Buzz allows you to place students in multiple groups within a grouping. However, when creating groups to configure group-specific activity settings, you should use the Each person in only one group setting to make sure students get the correct settings in their activity.
