Moodle – Groups Button

Groups in Moodle are useful because they can be used to filter activities from certain groups within your class.  Groups can be troublesome because they can be used to filter activities from certain groups within your class - when you don't wish to!!!
More about Groups.

In Moodle 3 they have made it super easy to change the group settings for any activity!  With Editing Turned On, you may have noticed these small icons
   = Visible groups
= Separate groups
= No Groups: this is the most common setting, and allows ALL students to see/access/post in an activity

With Editing On, you can 1-Click change these settings.   I have discovered several situations where this was done inadvertently!
If students are having issues accessing and/or posting to certain activities, please check this icon.
