What is Group choice?
Group choice is an activity module similar to the Choice activity. It allows users to select one or more groups they wish to be a member of in a course. Following their choice,they are automatically enrolled into the group(s)of their choice.
How is it set up?
- As an instructor in your course, go to Course administration > Users >Groups and make sure you have the desired groups already created. See Groups for more information.
- With the editing turned on, add Group Choice from the Activity chooser.
- Give it a name and if required a description.
- Decide if the users can choice only one group or several. Read the documentation on Choice for more information about the Miscellaneous settings.
- If you don’t want users to know who is in the groups, select ‘Do not publish results to users”. If you only want them to see after they choose, select ‘Show results to users only after they answer’.
- Choose the groups you wish the users to select from by clicking them in Available groups and moving them over to Selected groups. Several may be selected and added at once.
How does it work?
When the user clicks on the Group choice activity, they can select which group(s) they wish to join.
If allowed, they can toggle a Show/Hide link to see who else is in the groups:
