There are some modules that has two intakes starting in the same month ex.(062020) which will be in one course in Moodle. Therefor, you can differentiate between them by choosing the targeted groups from the filter in participants page as below:
There are many cases in which is useful to restrict access to material or activities in Moodle.
For example: sharing information with graders or keeping extra material hidden which can be done by following the below steps:
Step 1- Click on Turn editing on from top right gear
Step 2- Create or edit the resource or activity you want to limit access to.
Step 3- Under Restrict Access, click Add restriction and Select “Group” and pick the group you want to have access to the item i.e Group A.
You can also combine a number of restrictions if you continue to click Add restriction.
Click on the eyeball next to your group so that the item will be hidden totally from users not in that group.
Step 4- Save changes. When you return to the course main page you will see an indication that the item is restricted
Restricting Topics
It is possible to add a group restriction on a topic or week. Follow the same procedure as above, but set the restriction on the entire topic. You will need to leave the topic and all its contents visible, but Moodle will display a label indicating that access to the topic is restricted. You do not need to adjust the permissions/restrictions for any of the items within the topic. If the topic itself is restricted so will all the contents of the topic.
Different Intakes
One module folder may contain two or more intakes, which can then be found confusing when adding content and activities. Please note the enrollment process is automated by the system. In order to not confuse the materials and activities intended from different groups a solution is to utilise restrictions(see step 4 of article) so that the students from different intakes will be able to see materials meant for them while being in the same folder.
Important Tip: If you restrict access to an entire section, all activities in that section will follow the restrictions set. That way, you do not have to set restrictions one by one for each activity.
