Time for action - creating groups in your course

To create a group in your course follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are logged into your course as an administrator or teacher and editing is turned on.
  2. From the Course administration menu under the Settings block, select Users, and then select Groups.
  3. Click on the Create group button located at the bottom left of the screen.
  4. Enter the group name in the Group name field. For our example, enter "Safety L1".
  5. Enter a group description in the Group description text area if needed.
  6. Leave the Enrolment key blank for this example. In the future, if you add an enrolment key to your group and a user enrols in a course with that key, they will be automatically added to that group. This could be helpful once you have your course set up and want to automate enrolment in a track.
  7. If you want, you can assign a picture to a group. This is what the last two settings are about. If No is selected for the Hide picture setting, then if there is a picture associated with the group it will be displayed. The last setting, New picture, is where you can upload the picture you want associated with the group. The following screenshot shows the Create group page for our example:

  8. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save changes button.
  9. For our example, go through steps 1 to 8 two more times to create the following groups: Safety L2 and Safety L3. Once you have created three groups, you should see them listed on the Groups page as shown in the following screenshot:

What just happened?

We have now created groups of users in our course. Using groups allows Moodle course creators to use the same activities for multiple user populations.
