Groupings: Groupings are collections of groups. If a student is in more than one group, or you want a subset of groups to work on an activity you will need to use Groupings for the Groups to work correctly on the activity.
Groups available on Module | Groups Joe Bloggs belongs to | What are you trying to achieve? | Solution | Result |
Tutor Group 1 | Tutor Group 1 & Project Group B | I want a collaborative workspace for each Project Group to communicate with their Project Group. | Set up a Grouping called Project Grouping and add the following groups to this grouping Project Group A Project Group B Project Group C Project Group D Under Common module settings apply separate group mode and select the Project grouping. | Each Project Group has its own collaborative workspace. If you had not set up Groupings in this scenario, Moodle would have no way of knowing which groups needed to be attached to the Forum. Joe Bloggs would have had access to two Forums one for Tutor Group 1 and one for Project Group B! |

Reasons to use Groups
Groups can be used to define how students work or collaborate in activity by choosing different group modes. For example, an assignment can be set up so that each student submits his or her work as an individual or as a group.
Depending on which group mode you choose, activities will behave differently. For example, using groups will allow tutors to filter assignments by groups or in Forums it will enable a group of students to work collaboratively.
