GoGuardian Teacher’s Scenes for Student Groups feature lets teachers apply different Scenes to different groups of students within the same classroom session. This lets teachers organize and control web filtering rules on a per-group basis. GoGuardian Teacher Scenes page

Move Students Between Groups with Drag and Drop

Teachers can use the drag and drop feature to quickly rearrange students and move them from 1 group to another. Moving a student to a different group also updates their Scene rules to limit which websites they can access.
During a test, you can sort students into 2 groups: one group actively testing with a strict Scene that locks down web browsing, and another group for students who’ve finished with a Scene that allows more websites. As students complete their test, drag and drop them from the testing group to the completed group.
