Group self-selection allows students to create and select groups to enhance collaboration and learning experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To add a group self-selection activity, make sure to turn edit mode on in the top right part of the screen. In the course Section<\/em> where you will add the activity, at the bottom-right of the Section<\/em>, click “+ Add an activity or resource.” Next, select “Group self-selection.” A description will be displayed on the right. Click “Add.” The Adding a Group self-selection <\/em>page opens:<\/p>\n

The features of this activity:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Students are able to create groups, give them descriptions and protect them with passwords.<\/li>\n
  2. Students can select and join groups.<\/li>\n
  3. Supervisors are assigned to groups (the default is a non-editing teacher, but it can be changed).<\/li>\n
  4. Teachers are able to export group lists in a CSV file.<\/li>\n
  5. Group self-selection is fully compatible with Moodle groups and, hence, supports group assignment submissions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The instructor can regulate the extent to which these features can be used by modifying general permissions in the editing mode of the activity as shown below.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Once students join a group, they cannot change group membership themselves. The instructor must remove the student from the group they joined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
