1. Automatically created groups in Moodle

You will find that a number of groups are already present in your module. These have been automatically generated based on cohort data from MISIS.

The groups are created based on module CRN term, campus, and part of term. There may also be groups automatically created based on other criteria such as campus mode.

You can use these groups to make larger groupings in order to release different materials or activities to different groups of students.

You can use these, for example, to release a Turnitin assignment to the Hendon part time student cohort by selecting, in the example above, 07-Hendon-PT (2).

The number in the brackets indicates how many students make up that particular group. Here’s a short explanation on how to interpret the group names.
