With Sections you can sort students and lecturers into two or more sections within a course. This can help you keep an overview in a course with a large number of participants, where lecturers are only allowed to view and assess a select group of students. Lecturers and students who've been sorted into a section can only see other members of their section, and lecturers can only view the submitted assignments and grades of students within their section.

With Sections, you can:

• with the role of Teacher (and below), only view and assess the grades, assignments, quizzes and surveys of students within your section;
• divide students into groups within a section ;
• make course material available to students of a specific section with the use of release conditions.

Only the course coordinator (Coordinator role) will keep access to all contents, sections, and participants within a course. And only they can create and manage sections.

To make use of Sections within your course, you must first enable this function.

1. In the navbar of your course go to Administration.
2. Next, click Course Admin.

3. Go to Course Offering Information.

4. Under Sections, tick the box Course has sections.
5. At the bottom of the page, click Save.
