What are Moodle Groupings and how to setup Groupings in Moodle

In order to encourage collaborative work with online learning, you can use Moodle groups & groupings which put your students in different groups with other students. Groups can be especially useful for activities where students interact with one another. With forums, wikis, and databases, students in the same group can post and reply only to each other. Each group member always works in their own group, but you can control whether or not they can see contributions of members of other groups. A group or grouping can be used on two levels: Course Level - The group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. To use groups you need first to set a group mode in Course Settings. Activity Level - Each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available. If it is set to "No", then the teacher may change the group mode Now after differentiating between Course level & activity level groups. Let us define the group modes. There are three group modes: No groups - There are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community Separate groups - Each group can only see their own group, others are invisible. Visible groups - Each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups Once the group mode is set for the course or activity, students will interact with your Moodle course as they normally would. The only difference will be the people they meet in certain activities, such as forums. For example, if you set the group mode of a forum to separate groups, Moodle will create a forum for each group. Each student will see the same link to the forum, but she will be able to access only the discussions for her particular group. You need to create the forum only once; Moodle takes care of creating the individual group forums. A grouping is a collection of groups within a course. Using groupings allows you to direct tasks at one or more groups in your course, so that they can work together on the tasks. Grouping example You teach students in a course called 'The Art of Language'. Your students are divided into four groups, Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing, and for much of the course they work in these groups. You wish the students to work on a project, exploring passive and active language. You create a grouping Passive Language and assign the Listening and Reading groups to this grouping. You create a grouping Active Language and assign the Speaking and Writing groups to this grouping. Using the Restrict access feature you set certain tasks only for the Passive Language grouping and other tasks only for the Active Language grouping. Now the groups can work together, within their grouping, on their respective focus areas. At the end of the project you can bring the groups together in an activity for all participants to share their learning. In this video we will see how you create groupings in Moodle course and how you can use them. #moodle #LMS #learning #elearning #edtech #edtechtips #Moodletips #moodlenews #moodleworld #studentgroups #collaboration #studentlearning #groups #groupings #moodleLMS
