Moodle Groups, Groupings and Cohorts – The basics unleashed

Moodle Groups, Groupings and Cohorts – The basics unleashed | Moodle and Web 2.0 | Scoop.it
Moodle is based on the Social Constructionism pedagogy and according to that : “We learn particularly well from the act of creating or expressing something for others to see” . Moodle supports this kind of collaborative learning environment right from its core. Many other LMS’s available in the market may support document collaboration or project collaboration but Moodle is way ahead from all the other industry LMS’s.

The heart of Moodle is courses that contain activities and resources. The main power of this activity-based model comes in combining the activities into sequences and groups, which can help you guide participants through learning paths. Thus, each activity can build on the outcomes of earlier ones. You can create groups in Moodle to support collaborative learning.

In this article – I am going to uncover the basics of Groups, Groupings and Cohorts in Moodle context. So, if you are a new Moodler looking to find your way in all these technical jargon, then Don’t worry, I will give you a simple overview of the Groups, Groupings & Cohorts and how you can effectively use them.

Working with Cohorts

Working with Cohorts | Moodle and Web 2.0 | Scoop.it
I am sure we will all agree, Cohorts are pretty handy. Recently a new client of mine asked me to do a bulk upload of about 100 users. Once uploaded, the client asked me to add them to a Cohort. No problem. There was only about 110 users on the site, so picking the 100 I needed was easy.

A few days later, I got a similar request. Upload a bunch of users, and then add them to a new Cohort. Suddenly it wasn’t as much fun. Finding and adding them proved to be a little trickier than the first time.

So I decided to tinker about with some code and see what I could come up with.
