List of the various resource and activities and comparison how groups are either relevant or not for each of them

As it is defined in Moodle docs, the group mode can be defined at two levels:

  • Course level - the group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. This is determined in the course settings.
  • Activity level - each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available i.e. there is no Groups icon next to activities on the course page.

Moreover there are three group modes:

  • No groups: there are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community.
  • Separate groups: each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.
  • Visible groups: each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups. (The other groups' work is read-only)
