Groupings
A Grouping is a collection of groups, much as a Group is a collection of users.
If you plan to have more than one set of groups in your Moodle paper (e.g. students will be grouped differently for forums, group assignments and tutorials), first create the groups, then you will need to collect the groups into groupings.
Create grouping(s)
1. Select Participants from the tabs under the paper title.
2. Select Groupings from the dropdown menu.
3. At the bottom left, select Create grouping.
4. Select the person icon at the far right of the Grouping name.
5. Select relevant groups in the Potential members box on the right, then select Add.
6. Scroll down and select Back to groupings.
7. Check that all relevant Groups are now listed as members of the Grouping.
Apply a grouping
A. Apply a grouping to an Activity
