We would like to post an update that is only visible to a specific grading group. Is this possible? If not, I would like to add it as a feature request.
Thanks!

great idea!
That would be fantastic.
Same. Perfect for students with an individual education plan or summer enrichment courses.
Me too!
Why this isn't implemented yet?
Love this idea. I'd use it today (in fact I'm looking for it now)!
Here's how I solved this: I made an ungraded assignment and just assigned it individually to the group. If you put a due date on it, it shows up as an assignment in their upcoming. Not super elegant, but it worked for what I was going for.
I thought you could do this (based on incorrect interpretation of "group) from reading this tutorial:
https://support.schoology.com/hc/en-us/articles/201002123-Course-and-Group-Messages
I excitedly created my groups only to realize that the referenced "group" isn't the same as a "grading group". Oh well, just time wasted--and I got lots of time!
Yes, the terms Group and Grading Group are confusing.
Please add this feature. When students are working on a group project for example, it would be helpful to either message or post updates to just that group!!
This is one feature that Canvas does pretty well. I'm slowly adjusting to Schoology but the lack of group assignments, grading, messaging, etc, is going to be a struggle for sure!
Yes, this is the feature that Schoology is lacking. Can't imagine how wonderful if grading group messaging can be used.
Is this STILL not available?! People have been talking about it since 2014. It is a significant issue that we can't message a grade group.
I teach two sections of a few courses and decided to try grade groups instead of different sections because I can't assign graded discussions across sections (neede when a student is moved to a different in-person section but has to be kept in their Schoology section to avoid having to manually enter their grades in the new section).
Since my course sections take place on alternating A/B days, I can't always post one update to the whole course because one of the sections may not have been introduced to whatever I'm posting about yet. This is where being able to post an update or message to a specific grade group would be invaluable.
Please consider this for a near-future update. The sooner the better!
