To create a new group:
 
#Click the "Create group" button at the bottom of the groups page.
#Set the options for the group (see below).
#Click the "Save changes" button.
 
 
==Group name==
This is the name of the group displayed in various places throughout the course.
 
==Group description==
Write a brief description of the group and its purpose. The description is displayed above the list of group members on the participants page.
 
==Enrolment key==
Enrolment keys allow users to enrol themselves on a course. You can set an [[enrolment key]] in the [[Course settings|course settings]]. If you set a group enrolment key too, then anyone who enrols on the course using that key will also automatically be made a member of the group.
 
Note: You need to set an enrolment key in your course settings, as well as setting a group enrolment key, otherwise students will not be prompted to enter a key when they attempt to enrol. Students only need to enter the group enrolment key and do
not need to know the course settings enrolment key.
 
:''TIP:'' Make sure that the first letter for each group enrolment key is the same as the course settings enrolment key. If a student makes a mistake typing in the enrolment key, they are provided with the first letter of the course settings enrolment key as a hint. (''The 're-enter' text that contains the hint can also be edited using the admin's language editing settings to whatever you wish.  Keeping the hint is not necessary.'')
 
==Hide picture==
Hiding the picture for the group prevents the group picture from being displayed in various activities throughout your course.
 
==New picture==
You can upload a profile picture for the group or replace an old picture with a new one.  Pictures are displayed on the participants page and also on other activities like forums posts (unless you don't want that - see above setting).
