-
- Show on course page: the assessment is available to students.
- Hide from students: the assessment is not available to students.
- Make available but not shown on course page: a link to the assessment must be provided from elsewhere, such as from a page resource, it would still be listed in the gradebook.

There are three options available:-
- No groups - This allows all students to access the same information.
- Separate groups - Each group member can only see their own group, others are invisible. For example a forum would have a different area for each group within the grouping and discussions are private to each individual group.
- Visible groups - Each group member works in their own group, but can also see other groups. For example within a forum again, there would be a different area for each group within the grouping with discussions editable only by group members but the content is visible by all groups.
Grouping
A grouping is a collection of groups within a course. Access to resources by members of different groups within the grouping depends on the Group mode setting discussed above, determined by whether the task is individual, course wide or enabling group members to work together. 
Once you've finished editing the settings, remember to click either Save and return to course or Save and display if you want to preview the item.
