In Moodle 2.0, groupings will be listed as an advanced feature, however to avoid confusion the enablegroupings checkbox in 1.9 will remain in the experimental section of the site administration menu.

What is a grouping?

A grouping is a collection of groups. Groups normally exist within a grouping, but it is possible to create a group which doesn't belong to any grouping.

What is the difference between a group and a grouping?

See Groups versus groupings.

Why does a graded activity assigned to a particular grouping only appear in the gradebook for all users?

The gradebook does not currently consider group members only functionality. (See MDL-13868 for details.) It is recommended that separate courses are used instead.
