moodle groups

[itgeek]

I want to be able to putusers into griups within moodle. I know this is possible in a course but could I create groups and this will save adding individual users to a couse everytime? For example put all History teachers in a group?

 

 

Thanks

Have a search on Moodle.org or Google for Moodle Site Wide Groups, or have a look at the CLEO tool.

In moodle 1.9 there isn't an option for "sitewide" groups. There are workarounds at it all depends on why you want the groups - if you want all history teachers in a group to save adding them manually to history courses then you could assign the history teachers the role of teacher in the History category -so that any history course that is made then they are automatically teachers in. If you want to enrol pupils into groups in a course without doing it manually then you can put them into groups in courses via csv file - you can also add teachers to courses via csv file as well.

I've come across this - Using Moodle: Moodle Hack: Site-wide Groups but haven't tried it out myself.
