[gradebook2-dev] Gradebook 2 working with sections

[JOSE MARIANO LUJAN GONZALEZ]

You are right Thomas, the thing is that we automatically create sites  
and populate them with all the info provided by the University SIS so  
we are talking about courses with several groups that might want to  
work independent (i.e. 1 site 250 students + 2 instructors, so 1  
section has 150 students + 1 instructor and the other 100 students + 1  
instructor). In our home grown system they used to have separate GB  
items so, we want to avoid confusion as much as we can... We are  
testing now our Sakai 2.7.1 with sections to see what can/cant work  
independently.
Thanks anyway.
Mariano
