How to teach different subjects to different groups in the same period

A timetable can hold more than one subject in the same period, with different students assigned to each.

Example: Grade 3 is split into two groups: Library for Group 1 and Debate for Group 2 in the same period; in the next period the groups swap.

Steps 4 and 5 are only needed if the groups swap in another period:

4. Create a second elective group (e.g. Activities 2).
5. Add the same subjects and assign students the other way round: Library for Group 2, Debate for Group 1.
6. Create the timetable and place the elective group in the period. It contains different subjects for different students.

Important: Assign subjects to teachers before creating the timetable.

This also makes managing exams and entering marks for these subjects easier.
