In order to export a list from your classlist including groups or sections, you need to use the Grades functionality. See here for more information about the difference between Groups and Sections.

Via Gradesyou can create and print a list of all participants in your course, and even filter by group or section. 

  • Go to Grades in the navbar of your course.
  • Click on the tab Enter Grades.
  • Click on Export.
