Adding, editing and deleting groups manually
On each course area, groups are managed in the administration bar in the upper right hand corner, choose Users and subtitle Groups.
Click on Create group.
1. Give the group a name. This is the only field you need to fill in, the other fields are optional!
2. Description of the group may be written here or it can be left empty.
3. If you want to use group enrolment keys, you can type in a distinctive enrolment key for each group. This means that if you let your students know the group enrolment keys, they can enrol into the course area by using the key and simultaneously they will join the specific group. This is a useful feature if you have hundreds of students and you have made a group division beforehand.
4. Finally click Save changes.
Your group is now done. You may continue adding users into the group or creating more groups. By default, the groups are empty which is signified with 0 in brackets (0). As soon as you add members to a group, the number in the bracket changes.
Groups may be edited after you have created them. You may for example correct any spelling mistakes or change the group enrolment keys or group image. Editing is done in the administration menu (Group page).
1. Click the name of the group which you wish to edit. Then click Edit group settings.
2. Edit the settings and remember to Save changes.
Deleting groups is easy. Go to course administration and open the Group-page. Select the group to be deleted by clicking it blue and then click the Delete selected group-button.
Moodle will ask for a confirmation. Click Yes.
Remember to make sure you do not delete groups by accident!
