Use this option to build a group for Disability Quiz Accommodation. Fill out the group name and use Add Members to build the group. Method 2: Randomized Groups Randomized Groups allows you to divide the class into a set number of groups with students assigned to them automatically. Method 3: Sign-Up Groups Sign-Up Groups allows the students the opportunity to sign up for the group that they want to be in.
