A Grouping is two or more groups joined together. For example, you may have several smaller groups working on specific tasks or projects but may want some of those groups to come together to work on a project with a broader topic or to compare notes. If groupings have been created (which also require groups to exist), an activity can be set to use only groupings, or to use both groupings and groups.
