Creating Activities - Assigning Activities to Student Groups

Moodle provides teachers the ability to create student groups and to assign activities to the different groups.  This allows a teacher who teaches multiple sections of a course to use a single Moodle course.  By doing this, the teacher only has to create assignments and tests once for all of their sections.  However, a teacher may find the need to assign different activities to different groups of students.  This can be done in Moodle by following the steps below:


1) Turn editing on by clicking the "Turn Edit On" button 

2) Click on "Add an activity or resource 

3) Select the Assignment checkbox and click "Add"

3) Create a new assignment 

 

2) After naming assignment, point value and due date, scroll down to the Restrict Access block

 

 

3) Select Add Restriction

 

4) Select Group
