Universities use the term "Sections" to refer to a different roster of students based on day/time and/or instructor of the course. So they disable the feature that allows instructors to set up sections within their own course. This also severely limits the ability to differentiate assignments and quizzes. For example, I have a career focused class with some students early career exploration and students with years of work experience. So I differentiate the assignments and quizzes to be relevant for their career stages. Since my university doesn't allow us to set up a section within our class, I am having to manually assign each assignment to specific students (which when you have over 250 students is labor intensive as we need to type in each student's name to assign it to them).
Please update the terminology to use a term such as Differentiated Groups and promote the feature as a way to differentiate/personalize instruction within a single section of a course. And/Or Create a way to set up a Group where we can assign quizzes and assignments to individuals in a group.
