How to set group mode

To control whether groups you have created work separately or are visible to
each other, you need to set the group mode.
You can set the group mode at two levels:

Activity level
Course level

How to set group mode at activity level


You can set the group mode for an individual activity to be to visible or
separate. E.g. for a forum, a wiki or an assignment.

course module
Add activity or resource
e.g. Forum
the option Common module settings
the option Group mode and set a mode.

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.
Only students in the same group can see and participate in discussions
within a particular forum.

Visible groups
Each group only participates in own groups discussion, but can see other
groups discussions.
(The other groups' work is read-only)

Using groups with discussion forums allows teachers to restrict interaction


between students.
With visible groups, students can see which other groups are doing the same
activities as they are; with separate groups, they do not know which other
groups are doing the same activities.

How to set group mode at course level


The group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities
defined within that course.
1. Click the Edit settings button in Administration > Course administration
> Edit settings
2. Select the option Groups on the page Edit course settings (list at
bottom of page)

If you set Force group mode to Yes, group mode is applied to every activity
in the course. This overrides any settings for individual activities. And if you set
Group mode to e.g. Separate groups, this will be default mode for all
activities.
If you only want some activities to be set to group mode, you should set Force
group mode to No and then set specific activities to group mode at activity
level as described above.
