 TUTORIAL  Learn  (ver.  2.7)  

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…)
