Groups

Groups in CNM Cert allow us to assign an particular activity or all course activities to group of students. With forums, wikis, and databases, students in the same group can post and reply only to each other. Each group member always works in their own group, but you can control whether or not they can see contributions of members of other groups. Groups can be useful for activities where students can interact.

Groups can be used at two levels:

Course Level

It is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. Following settings are required for Group mode to use Groups:

Administration > Course administration > Edit settings.

Activity Level

A Group mode can also be defined for each activity that supports Groups.

Group Modes

There are three group modes:

• No groups - There are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community
• Separate groups - Each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.
• Visible groups - Each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups. (The other groups' work is read-only.)
