Groups within a class
You could upvote this Uservoice idea: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/599053-schools-and-universities/suggestions/40104394-use-a-group-tag-to-assign-an-assignment
It is annoying that it is possible to tag member groups, but it can't be used for features like Assignments, creating Calendar meetings, Private channel membership, Breakout rooms in meetings, permissioning of files, etc. Perhaps if each tag generated a sub-group of members (Team Name-Members-Tag) they could be referenced in these other environments.millerblair Agreed. I made the same comment here: Expanding the use of Team Member tags - Microsoft Tech Community
There are two User Voice suggestions which are very similar, essentially referring to the same thing.
sum-sam AFAIK not yet.
There are some workarounds. You can allocate an assignment to specific learners in your class. You can therefore allocate it to the learners in a particular group. Unfortunately you still need to select those learners individually. Teams does allow you to add tags to learners (members) but unfortunately the tags cannot be used to assign assignments.
In addition to the workaround I have proposed, you can consider adding a prefix to the Learner's display name to identify them better. This obviously needs to be done in your Active Directory or Office 365 User Admin - it cannot be done in Teams.
