Moodle gives instructors flexible tools to manage students and organize group activities.
Participant Management
- Automatic enrollment: Students are automatically enrolled in courses by the registrar.
- Manual Enrollment: Instructors can enroll course assistants and assign the role of Course Editor and Grader.
Once users are enrolled, instructors can:
- Assign roles (Learner, guest student, Course Editor, Grader.)
- Track Grades using the gradebook.
- Monitor activity(logins, forum posts, resource views.)
- Send messages to individuals or groups.
Group Management
Groups help instructors organize students for teamwork, different assignments, or easier course management.
Group modes in activities:
- No groups: Everyone works alone.
- Separate groups: Students only see their group's work.
- Visible groups: Students work in groups but can view other's work too.
Common use for groups:
- Small group discussions in forums.
- Giving different assignments to different groups
- Assigning different due dates to different groups.
- Group work in wikis or glossaries.
- Viewing grades or reports by group.
