Why does a graded activity assigned to a particular grouping only appear in the gradebook for all users?
The gradebook does not currently consider the experimental Available for group members only functionality. (See MDL-13868 for details.) It is recommended that separate courses are used instead. A possible workaround is:
- Put all graded activity is assigned to a particular grouping into one category
- Set the aggregation for the category to maximum grade
- Hide the individual activities
