Delete a group without deleting the work

I would like to delete groups without deleting the assignments/grades for those groups.

I have several group assignments, which are easily sorted as a teacher but not as a student. Is there a way to hide or delete groups that students no longer need so they don't show up as a long list for the students? Can they be sorted for students like they can be for teachers?

@lperkinsESHS23 I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure there is no way to retain the connection to an assignment after a group is deleted nor is there a way to hide old groups for students.

Are you having the students self-enroll for groups? I am not used to them going to look at the full list of groups on the People page.

Bummer. I just tried grabbing the self-enroll links for groups, and the buttons all technically have the same link, so it's not even like you could just put the urls for the current set of groups on a page.

Allow Observers to View Instructor Comments
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
