Multiple Tracks within a single Course - Using sections?

Hello! I am an instructional designer (new to Canvas and higher ed.) and I got a faculty request to help build an online course that has 3 separate tracks within it. These three tracks have different clinical locations/assignments and some of the quizzes and homework assignments will be different as well based on the track the student is in.

  1. Is using Course Sections the best way to differentiate the student tracks? They're not technically in different sections of the course, as it is online and the lectures are the same for everyone.
  2. If we use Course Sections, will the gradebook for each student only show the assignments that have been assigned to their group or everyone? Without showing incompletes/lates for assignments only assigned to the other sections?
  3. If a student registers late (once the class has already begun) and is added to one of the sections, will the appropriate assignments sync automatically to them? 

Any help is very much appreciated!
