\n\tIf learners have registered into groups at the syllabus in SIS and learners are transferred to the Moodle e-course, similar groups are automatically set up in the Moodle e-course at the moment of transfer, and the learners are added to the groups. These are usually groups for practical classes or seminars. For group work, separate groups or groupings should be created in an e-course.
\n<\/h5>\n

\n\tYou can use the group mode in the whole course (Administration \u2013 Edit settings) or for individual activities in Moodle. In addition, it is possible to create groupings from the existing groups.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGroup mode and groupings may be used to distinguish between learning groups and to assign specific activities or resources to specific groups.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tExample:
\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tThe course includes three groups that have been transferred from the SIS: stats 1, stats 2 and stats 3. These groups have seminars and you may want to filter the gradebook and assignments according to these groups. In addition, there is online group work in this course and two groups have been manually created for the e-course: R\u00fchmat\u00f6\u00f6 1, R\u00fchmat\u00f6\u00f6 2.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"grouping\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo avoid seminar groups and group work groups getting mixed up, you should use groupings. Create two groupings: for example, grouping \u2013 seminar (for seminar groups) and grouping 2 (for group work groups) and specify that grouping \u2013 seminar includes groups stats 1, stats 2 and stats 3, and grouping 2 contains groups R\u00fchmat\u00f6\u00f6 1 and R\u00fchmat\u00f6\u00f6 2.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, in the resource or activity settings page, under general module settings, you can set that study material x and quiz y are visible for grouping \u2013 seminar only, that is, to members of the groups stats 1, stats 2 and stats 3, etc.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is possible to use two group modes both in the whole course and for separate resources or activities:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tSeparate groups \u2013 members of different groups cannot see posts of another group (for example, wikis, forum posts).\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tVisible groups \u2013 members of different groups can see each other\u2019s activities but cannot participate in them.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tThere are several ways to create groups:\n<\/p>\n

    \n\t1. Learners have already enrolled in the course:\n<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n\t\tMoodle creates groups automatically\n\t<\/li>\n
    • \n\t\tyou create groups and place learners into the correct groups\n\t<\/li>\n
    • \n\t\tyou create groups and use the Moodle activity Group self-selection, which allows learners to join the group of their choice\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n\t2. Learners have not yet enrolled in the course\n<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n\t\tyou create groups and set for each group a key, which automatically enrols learners into the correct group when they first join the course\n\t<\/li>\n
      • \n\t\tyou allow students to enrol in groups in the SIS and the same groups will be automatically created in the e-course as students are transferred\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n\t1. Manual creating of groups
        \n<\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. \n\t\tselect Administration \u2013 Users \u2013 Groups\n\t<\/li>\n
        2. \n\t\tto create a new group, click on the button Create a group\n\t<\/li>\n
        3. \n\t\tOn each group settings page, you can also set the group key (only if you want that the learners using the self-enrolment key to join the course are also automatically added to the respective group)\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n\tNB! If you want to add learners automatically into the correct group, you should give learners the key to the respective group only, and, although you set the key for the entire course (Administration \u2013 Users \u2013 Enrolment methods \u2013 Self Enrolment (Student) \u2013 Enrolment key), you do not share the key with students. With a course key the learners could enrol in a course but not to any groups.
          \n<\/h5>\n

          \n\tManual enrolment of group members\n<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n\t\tOn the groups page: Administration \u2013 Users \u2013 Groups\n\t<\/li>\n
          2. \n\t\tclick on the group\u2019s name\n\t<\/li>\n
          3. \n\t\tclick Add\/remove members below the window on the right \u2013 all learners enrolled in the course are displayed in the window on the right\n\t<\/li>\n
          4. \n\t\tclick on a learner\u2019s name and add to the group in the window on the left\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n\t2. Auto-creating emty groups (see picture)
            \n<\/h2>\n
              \n
            1. \n\t\tOn the groups page: Administration \u2013 Users \u2013 Groups\n\t<\/li>\n
            2. \n\t\tclick Auto-create groups and specify the suitable settings. Using @ in the group name creates groups using a naming scheme with letters: e.g. Group A, Group B, etc. If you include # in the group name (e.g. Group #), the auto-created group names will use the naming scheme with numbers (e.g. Group 1, Group 2, etc.)\n\t<\/li>\n
            3. \n\t\tto create empty groups (so that learners could choose their own group), select No allocation\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n\t\"groups\"\n<\/p>\n

              \n\tTo edit the names or settings of existing groups, click on the group name and the button Edit group settings.\n<\/p>\n

              \n\tTo enable learners to self-enrol into groups, create the groups and add the Group self-selection activity to the course. This module allows you to specify the number of learners in groups (in the menu on the left Max members per group and the enrolment period Open from and Open until).\n<\/p>\n

              \n\tGroupings
              \n<\/h3>\n

              \n\tTo create groupings, go to the groups page (Administration \u2013 Users \u2013 Groups), select the tab Groupings and click on the button Create grouping. To assign groups into the grouping, click on the people icon in the column on the right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
