How to auto-create groups

Notice that students can be split into groups in two ways:

Auto-create groups
Create groups manually (see separate tutorial)

How to auto-create groups


Groups can be created automatically via the 'Auto-create groups' button.
1. Click the Auto-create groups button in Administration > Course administration
> Users > Groups.
2. Click the Expand all link top right to see all the settings

General
3. Select a Naming scheme
You can create a naming scheme automatically. # is replaced by sequential
numbers, and @ by letters. For example:
Group @ will create group with a naming scheme Group A, Group B, Group C . . .
Group # will create group with a naming scheme Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 . . .
4. Specify if you want to auto-create groups based on number of groups or
number of members in the groups
5.

Specify how many groups or how many members in the groups you want:
x number of groups or
x number of students in each group
Notice that Specify and Group/Member count work together.

6. When selecting Members per group, the Prevent last small group will
allocate additional members to an existing group rather than create a new
group with fewer members than x. E.g. if you want to have at least 5 in each
group, select this option to prevent the creation of a last group with only 1-4
members.
This setting is found by clicking on the Show More link.

Group members
7. The option Select members with role allows you to choose from roles or

available cohorts.
Cohorts are groups of users created by admin which can then be brought in "en masse"
to courses.

8. The setting 'Select members from cohort' lists all cohorts which users enrolled
on the current course are part of. The number in brackets is the number of users
enrolled on the course in that cohort.

9. Select how you want group members to be allocated (E.g. randomly,


alphabetically by first name, alphabetically by last name)

Grouping
10.Create in grouping and Grouping name allow you to create a new grouping
and allocate the new auto-created groups to be created to it.
Prior to creating the groups by clicking Submit, you can preview the groups.
