Marycooch: removing ref to Atto plugin

{{Infobox plugin

}}
==What is RecordRTC?==

RecordRTC is a set of plugins for the [https://moodle.org/plugins/tinymce_recordrtc TinyMCE editor], enabling users to add audio and video annotations to text, anywhere a text editor is present. This plugin adds buttons for recording audio or video (with audio) to the editor's toolbar. [[File:recordrtc_buttons.png]] (Note that the [[Atto editor]] has this feature as standard.)

Using [https://webrtc.org/ WebRTC] technologies, all recording is done instantly in the browser. After recording, users can embed the annotation directly into the text they are currently editing. The recording will appear as an audio or video player in the published writing.

The plugin works fine with Chrome, Firefox and Opera on Desktop computers running Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Chrome OS.

==How do I get it?==
*Administrators whose Moodle sites allow plugins to be installed directly can install RecordRTC by clicking the Install Plugins link from the Plugins area of Site administration and then searching for the or [https://moodle.org/plugins/tinymce_recordrtc TinyMCE RecordRTC plugin] as appropriate.
*Administrators who are not able to install plugins directly can download the plugin from the Moodle Plugins directory and upload it to the server.
*The plugins are also available on Github: [https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=atto_recordrtc Here for Atto] and [https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=tinymce_recordrtc here for TinyMCE] Look for the latest release and download zip file by using the link [[File:recordrtc_git_download.png]] See the FAQ below for set up with Ubuntu.

=== What are the admin settings? ===
The plugins will work with the defaults, but you can change them from theText editors pages (Atto or TinyMCE) from Plugins in Site administration.

Administrators can:

* Allow the users to record only audio, only video, or both by changing the buttons that appear in the editor toolbar.
* Change the target bitrate of recorded audio.
* Change the target bitrate of recorded video
* Set the recording time limit, to control maximum recording size

The default bitrate for recorded audio (128000) should lead to generate files of about 15kB per minute and the default bitrate for recorded video (2500000) to generate files of 20MB per minute. The lower the bitrate the smaller the file size.

The recording time limit is set to 120 seconds by default so the maximum size expected on video files should be of about 40MB

==How does it work?==
*The Atto or TinyMCE editors will display one or both icons for audio and/or video, depending on the administrator's setting.

[[File:RecordAtto.png]]
*Click the icon for audio or video recording. You'll see a button 'Start recording'. Click it and speak.
[[File:attachasannotation.png]]
*When you have finished, click to stop the recording. It will ask you to name it and attach the recording as an annotation.

== Troubleshooting ==
=== Recording stops after a few seconds ===
[[File:recordingrtc_error_limit_reached.png]]

There are two settings that establish the maximum file size that can be uploaded to Moodle. These are defined in php.ini for the web server.
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
Just edit the file and increase their values to something between 40M-50M for 2 minutes video recordings.
In Ubuntu
vi /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

You can set some large values as described in [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-62872?focusedCommentId=654424&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-654424 this Moodle tracker issue]:
post_max_size = 1024M
upload_max_filesize = 1024M

== Known Issues ==
* The media files don't show duration
* The controls for navigating the files do not work properly in the player.

== F.A.Q. ==
=== Why won't these plugins work with all browsers? ===
WebRTC ("Web Real-Time Communication") is a collection of communications protocols and application programming interfaces that enable real-time communication over peer-to-peer connections. Implemented in browsers it enables applications such as video conferencing, file transfer, chat, or desktop sharing without the need of either internal or external plugins.[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC Wikipedia]]

MediaStream Recording API, sometimes simply referred to as the Media Recording API or the MediaRecorder API, is closely affiliated with the Media Capture and Streams API and the WebRTC API. The MediaStream Recording API makes it easy to record audio and/or video streams. When used with navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(), it provides an easy way to record from the user's input devices and instantly use the result in web apps. Both audio and video may be recorded, separately or together. [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder MediaRecorder Documentation]]

As these plugins make use of diverse WebRTC technologies, they can only be used in browsers that have implemented both [[https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/ WebRTC 1.0]] and [[https://www.w3.org/TR/mediastream-recording/ MediaRecorder API]]. This is the case for [https://www.google.com/chrome/ Chrome], [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Firefox] and [http://www.opera.com/ Opera]. [[https://webrtc.org/ See `Supported browsers and platforms`]] Therefore these are the only ones that the initial version of these plugins (1.0) support.

Edge has implemented WebRTC 1.0 in [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge Microsoft Edge] but it does not include MediaRecorder API, so implementing the plugins for this browser requires some customisation to the libraries and the use of an external server.

Safari 11 for iOS will support WebRTC 1.0 [[https://webrtc.ventures/2017/06/webrtc-support-in-safari-11/ See]] but same as edge, the implementation of MediaRecorder API has not been announced.

As this covers only about the 60% of the browsers, there are plans for adding support to these two browsers by making use of Media Streaming as in version 2.0 of these plugins.

=== Can I have recordings of more than 2 minutes? ===
Yes. That can be changed in the plugin configuration. Keep in mind that as the file size will increase, the settings in php should also be edited.
Also, because the size can be too much for the browser itself, we recommend not going to large.
The only solution for giving a really large limit to the file size is to include a server component for doing a progressive upload and trans coding. But the first version of these plugins do not cover that possibility.

=== Where are the recordings stored? ===
Storing the RecordRTC recordings is not different than storing any other media file that is uploaded to Moodle. So, it depends of the file system your Moodle server has configured.
When using the default configuration, all files are stored in <code>/moodlepath/moodledata/filedir/xx/yy/</code> where xx and yy are the path defined by the API when the file was uploaded.
If you are a developer interested in learning more details about this you can see [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/File_API_internals#File_storage_on_disk File storage on disk]. It is an old article but it gives a good idea on what is underneath. Also see [[Amazon S3 repository]] for information on storing files externally in Amazon S3 buckets.

=== How do I set it up with Ubuntu?===
* Navigate to `moodle_root_path/lib/editor/atto/plugins` or `moodle_root_path/lib/editor/tinymce/plugins`, where `moodle_root_path` is the location where Moodle is installed (ex.: `/var/www/html/moodle`)
** For Atto execute <code>sudo git clone https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/moodle-atto_recordrtc.git recordrtc</code>
** For TinyMCE execute <code>sudo git clone https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/moodle-tinymce_recordrtc.git recordrtc</code>
* Log into a Moodle account with administration capabilities

==Notes for system administrators ==
=== Increasing max file size ===
The default maximum size of uploads in PHP is very small, it is recommended to set the upload_max_filesize setting to 40M and the post_max_size setting to 50M for a time limit of 2:00 to avoid getting an alert while recording.

The file size of recorded video for Firefox will likely be twice that of other browsers, even with the same settings; this is expected as it uses a different writing library for recording video. The audio file size should be similar across all browsers.

== Notes for developers ==
=== Updating libraries ===
These plugins makes use of two libraries. Adapter.js which makes all the WebRTC magic and Bowser.js that helps to identify the browser and OS where the application is running.

If trying to update Bowser or Adapter.js dependencies for the project, it is necessary to replace the named definition at the top of the file with an anonymous one, like so
For Bowser.js:

Old code:
<code>
!function (root, name, definition) {
if (typeof module != 'undefined' && module.exports) module.exports = definition()
else if (typeof define == 'function' && define.amd) define(name, definition)
else root[name] = definition()
}(this, 'bowser', function () {
</code>

New code:
<code>
define([], function() {
</code>

Or so for Adapter.js:

Old code
<code>
(function(f){if(typeof exports==="object"&&typeof module!=="undefined"){module.exports=f()}else if(typeof define==="function"&&define.amd){define([],f)}else{var g;if(typeof window!=="undefined"){g=window}else if(typeof global!=="undefined"){g=global}else if(typeof self!=="undefined"){g=self}else{g=this}g.adapter = f()}})(function(){
</code>

New code
<code>
define([], function() {
</code>

Marycooch:

Import glossary entries

2020-03-09T07:09:12Z

Marycooch: /* Importing glossary entries */

{{Glossary}}Glossary entries can be exported and then imported into another glossary via an XML file.

==Importing glossary entries==

*As an editing teacher (or administrator or manager), access your glossary
*With the Boost theme, click the cog/gear icon on the right and then click 'Import entries'. With non-Boost themes such as Classic, go to ''Administration > Glossary administration > Import entries

*Click the "Choose a file" button and browse for the exported entries XML file on your computer
*Select the destination for the new entries: either the current glossary or a new one
*If you want to import category information, click the checkbox.
*Click the "Submit" button.

[[File:ImportGlossaryEntries.jpg]]

You'll then see a report of the entries and categories added to the glossary. If you enabled duplicate entries when you created the glossary, the import process will add all of the new definitions. Otherwise, it will not allow you to import any duplicate entries.

You will be listed as author of all the entries.

If your exported glossary included embedded images and/or attached files, these will also be imported into the new glossary.

== Troubleshooting ==

Possible causes of problems importing entries:
* If there are mistakes in the XML file such as the <entries> tag being missing or the <info> tag being in the wrong place. May happen if you have constructed the XML file manually or with some sort of tool like mailmerge in Word and your template is wrong.
* If there are top bit set characters in the text of the entities like concepts, definitions or keywords. Replace things like & with &amp;
* If there are tabs or spaces between entries. Not sure if spaces cause problems but best to remove any between the end of one tag and start of the next. e.g. Search and replace > < with >< via a text editor.
* In most cases the import is halted if any of these errors occur.
* Duplicates in the entries which clash with entries already when merging a glossary is usually not a problem.
* Warnings like <code>Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /moodle/lib/uploadlib.php on line 603</code> may not be the problem when importing but may distract one from dealing with problems with the format of the XML file.
* HTML and XHTML tags written within CONCEPT or DEFINITION elements will fail on import, showing "Array" instead of the desired content. To remedy this, try writing the (X)HTML tags within <![CDATA[ ]]> markup.
* If the glossary entries contain images, image paths will need amending by doing a search and replace in the XML file in order for the images to be displayed when the file is imported.

==Restoring a glossary activity backup==

An alternative method of importing glossary entries is to restore a glossary [[Activity backup|activity backup]] containing enrolled users. This method includes categories, images and attachments within glossary entries. When the glossary is restored, the authors of the entries will be the same as in the original glossary.

Security report on default user role

2020-02-25T13:03:50Z

Marycooch: /* Reviewing authenticated user role permissions */

{{Security overview report}}
==Default role for all users==

In general the default role for all users should be set to authenticated user. Normally all permissions for the role of authenticated user should be left as default.

==Default user role is incorrectly defined==

If the security overview report shows the default role for all users with status 'Critical' and states that 'The default user role "Authenticated user" is incorrectly defined!' it means that one or more risky capabilities are allowed for the role.

==Reviewing authenticated user role permissions==

The permissions for the role of authenticated user can be reviewed as follows:

# Go to ''Administration > Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''
# In the role column, click the link 'Authenticated user'
# Browse the permissions column

If there is no reason for changing permissions from default, then the role can be reset by clicking the Reset button at the top of the page.

[[File:ResetRoleButton.jpg|ResetRoleButton.jpg]]

After resetting the authenticated user role, the security overview report will show the default role for all users with status OK.

Hello there. Each wiki is separate so you have to copy/paste and upload the screenshots to each wiki unfortunately.

The "behind the scenes" actions that happen after the manual enrolment period has expired needs clarification. What happens to manual student enrolments AFTER the enrolment period has passed? Do all the currently enroled students automatically get UNENROLED from the course? Or do existing enrolments remain and only new enrolments are blocked?

Teacher quick guide

2019-12-30T11:30:10Z

Marycooch: Reverted edits by Skaceli (talk) to last revision by Tsala

{{Managing a Moodle course}}
In Moodle, a teacher has responsibility for the materials in their own course. They often also manage enrolments and are able to change the layout of the course page. This quick start guide introduces Moodle's features to those with the [[Teacher role]].

==Course set up==
A course is a space on a Moodle site where teachers can add learning materials for their students. A teacher may have more than one course and a course may include more than one teacher and more than one group of learners. See the screencast [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STKBlI4vr40&t=8s What is a course?] or if your course looks different, watch [https://youtu.be/Ah54f1CrzEI this alternative screencast].

By default a regular teacher can't add a new course. See [[Adding a new course]] for information on how courses may be created.

[[File:ExampleBoostTheme.png|600px|thumb|center|Example of a Moodle course using the [[Boost theme]]]]

[[File:tgcoursesetup.png|600px|thumb|center|Example of a Moodle course with a [[Navigation block]] and [[Administration block]]]]

A course can display its materials in a number of ways or 'formats', for example in weekly sections or named topic sections. You can show all the sections at once or just reveal one at a time. See [[Course settings]] for more information, or watch the screencast [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bbQF-d2SpU How to lay out a course]. If your course looks different, watch [https://youtu.be/voYP_iE8dQI this alternative screencast].

Course sections may be renamed by turning on the editing and clicking the configuration icon underneath the section name. Sections may also be moved by drag and drop and sections added or removed by clicking the + or - underneath the bottom section. See [[Course homepage]] for more information.

You can also add elements, known as 'blocks', to the right, left or both sides of your central learning area, depending on your theme. For more information see [[Blocks]]. Remember that blocks will not display in the [[Moodle Mobile app]] so, think carefully about which blocks you really need.

==Course enrolment==

Before a learner can access your course, they must first be [[Authentication| authenticated on the site]] and that is the responsibility of the site administrator.

[[File:tgcoursenrolment.png|thumb|center|600px|Enrolment methods]]

There are several [[Enrolment methods|enrolment methods]] available to a teacher, what is available, again, depends on the site administrator. The admin might enrol students into course automatically, or the teacher might be able to let students enrol themselves. Depending on the theme used, this can be done either by clicking the gear menu in the nav drawer link '''Participants''' or by clicking '''Enrolled users''' from the '''Users''' link in the '''Course administration''' block. This is the [[Manual enrolment]] method. Other options can be seen in the '''Enrolment methods''' link and include [[Self enrolment]] and [[Guest access]].

{{Note|Guests can only view the course and its resources; they cannot participate in any activities.}}
An enrolment key may be set if [[Self enrolment]] is enabled so that only students with the key can enter. The screencast [https://youtu.be/3WeF9HPTpOM Enrolling learners] gives more information on course enrolment. If your course looks different, watch this earlier screencast on [https://youtu.be/CLTxS8lZ5ro Enrolling learners] .

==Grading==
Every course has its own [[Gradebook]] which can record scores from [[Assignment|assignments]] , [[Quiz|quizzes]] , [[Workshop|peer assessment workshops]], [[Lesson|'branching' lessons]], [[SCORM activity|SCORM activities]] and [[External tool|LTI learning resources]].

[[File:tggrading.png|thumb|center|600px|The grader report]]

Other activities such as [[Forum|forums]], [[Database|databases]] and [[Glossary|glossaries]] can have ratings enabled which will also then be reflected in the gradebook.

Grade items can be manually created from ''Course administration > Grades > Set up > Categories and items'' and it is also possible to [[Grade import|import]] and [[Grade export|export]] grades.

==Tracking progress==

If [[Activity completion|completion tracking]] has been enabled for the site and in ''Course administration > Edit settings'', you can then set completion conditions in activity settings. A checkbox will appear next to the activity and a student may either be allowed to tick it manually, or a tick will display once criteria for that particular activity have been met. This feature can be combined with [[Course completion]] so that when certain activities have been completed and/or grades obtained, the course itself is marked complete.

[[File:tgtracking.png|thumb|center|600px|Completion boxes]]

[[Badges]] can also be issued, manually or based on completion criteria to act as a motivator and record of course progress.

==Restricting access==

A course can be set to display everything to everyone all the time, or it can be very restrictive, displaying certain items at certain times, to certain groups or based on performance in previous tasks.

[[File:tgrestrictaccess.png|thumb|center|600px|Options for restricting access]]

Course items and sections may be manually hidden using the 'hide' icon when the editing is turned on. If [[Restrict access]] has been enabled by the administrator then a Restrict access section will display in each course activity and resource, allowing you to choose how and when this item will be revealed, and whether to hide it completely or show it greyed out with the conditions for access.

{{Note|New to Workshop? Try our [[Workshop quick guide]].}}
Workshop is a powerful peer assessment activity. The documentation on [[Workshop settings]] explains the different options available.

{{MediaPlayer | url = https://youtu.be/spPxDmPOjyQ | desc = Overview of the Workshop activity}}

Students submit their own work and then receive a number of submissions from other students which they must assess according to the teacher's specifications. (They may also assess their own work if the teacher requests this.) Text may be typed directly into Moodle's editor, or files of any type may be uploaded, as long as others have the software to view them. See '''[[Using Workshop]]''' for details of the phases involved. The teacher can decide whether to show or hide the identities of the students to each other when assessing is taking place.

Two grades are given and appear in the Gradebook: a grade for the student's own submission and a grade for the quality of their peer assessment skills. See [[Workshop grading strategies]] for more information.

Workshop is primarily a student-focused activity; however, the teacher may guide the students by providing example submissions for them to try out before assessing their peers and at the end of the workshop the teacher may publish some good (or less good) examples.

For a working example of a workshop activity, see the [http://school.moodledemo.net/course/view.php?id=59 Celebrating Cultures course in the School Demonstration site.] with the username ''teacher'' and password ''moodle.''

Resources

2019-12-30T11:28:15Z

Marycooch: Reverted edits by Skaceli (talk) to last revision by Marycooch

{{Managing a Moodle course}}
A resource is an item that a teacher can use to support learning, such as a file or link. Moodle supports a range of resource types which teachers can add to their courses. In edit mode, a teacher can add resources via the 'Add an activity or resource' link.
Resources appear as a single link with an icon in front of it that represents the type of resource.

Administrators can decide whether or not to force teachers to add descriptions for each resource by enabling or disabling a site-wide setting in ''Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Common settings''.

*[[Book module|Book]] - Multi-page resources with a book-like format. '' Teachers can export their Books as IMS CP'' (admin must allow teacher role to export IMS)
*[[File resource|File]] - A picture, a pdf document, a spreadsheet, a sound file, a video file
*[[Folder]] - For helping organize files and one folder may contain other folders
*[[IMS content package]] - Add static material from other sources in the standard IMS content package format
*[[Label]] - Can be a few displayed words or an image used to separate resources and activities in a topic section, or can be a lengthy description or instructions
*[[Page]] - The student sees a single, scrollable screen that a teacher creates with the robust HTML editor
*[[URL resource|URL]] - You can send the student to any place they can reach on their web browser, for example Wikipedia

==Managing resources in several languages==

The '''Quiz''' activity module allows the teacher to design and build quizzes consisting of a large variety of [[Question types]], including multiple choice, true-false, short answer and drag and drop images and text. These questions are kept in the [[Question bank]] and can be re-used in different quizzes.

{{Managing a Moodle course}}
Courses are the spaces on Moodle where [[Teacher| teachers]] add learning materials and activities for their students. Courses may be created by [[Administrator|admins]], [[Course creator| course creators]] or [[Manager| managers]]. Teachers can then add the content and re-organise them according to their own needs. The links below the image will provide more information about creating, organising and managing courses.

Course FAQ

2019-12-07T07:55:52Z

Marycooch: course in more than one category

{{Courses}}
==How do I get rid of the teachers' names on my course descriptions?==

By default Moodle will show names of teachers on course descriptions. If you don't want this, uncheck the role in ''Administration > Site Administration > Appearance > Course contacts.''

==How do I add the names of non-editing teachers to my course descriptions?==

By default Moodle will only show names of teachers on course descriptions. If you want to add other roles, check the role in ''Administration > Site Administration > Appearance > Course contacts.''

==Some of my courses have the course summaries showing but some only have an information icon. Why?==

Categories which have fewer than ten courses will show the full summary but those with more will only show the information icon. If you want them all to show the full summary then change the value of the Courses with summaries limit (courseswithsummarieslimit) setting in ''Site Administration > Appearance > Courses''.

==I can't upload files to my course. I get the message that my 'filetype cannot be accepted'==
*Make sure you are not trying to upload to the course summary files area in the 'Edit settings' area of course administration.
*This upload area is only for files describing the course and by default only image files are allowed (so that a screenshot may be displayed next to the summary).
*If you wish to upload files into your course, make sure you are first on the main course page itself, not in the settings of the course.

==How can I prevent teachers from being able to add a particular resource or activity?==
From ''Site administration>Users>Permissions>Define roles,'' edit the teacher role and untick "allow" on the capability of the module you wish them not to add - for example ''mod/workshop:addinstance''

==I see two dropdown boxes instead of the Add an activity or resource link==
* Check in your user preferences >Course preferences that you have 'Enable activity chooser 'ticked
* Check you have Ajax enabled - the link does not appear without Ajax enabled.

==Why am I getting dates in the future on a course I have restored?==
If you restored a course with user data but set the enrolment date for the present time, then logs, forum posts and so on will still be set at the same time distance from the start of the course. So if your original course began in 2010 and participants posted in a forum in 2012, then if you restore your course to begin in 2014, all those posts will have a date of 2016 on them. See MDL-44961

==How can I make my course home page look more like a web page?==

Often when a course has a lot of content, students and teachers find the long scrolling tedious and would prefer a 'neater' appearance with hyperlinks to sections in a similar way to the way pages on websites work.

See [[Stealth activities]] for information on how to do this in a Moodle course.

==Where can I find a list of all course resources and activities?==
You can find a list of [[Resources|resources]] (ie static pages and folders etc) here:

<code><nowiki>http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/resources.php?id=x</nowiki></code> where x is the course ID number.

If you wish to see the list of [[Activities|activities]] such as quizzes, then use a URL such as this <code><nowiki>http://yourmoodlesite.net/mod/quiz/index.php?id=x</nowiki></code> where x is the course ID number.

Change the activity name according to the activity you need to see listed.

==Is there a shortcut URL to a course?==

Try this using the course shortname: URL (Moodlesite)/course/view.php?name=shortname to navigate directly to a course.

Check out the tracker item for clean URLs: MDL-28030

==What happens to my course content if I change the format from one format to another?==
'''For standard course formats only''': If you change from Topics to Weekly or Weekly to Topics, then the only real difference will be in the titles of the sections. If you change to Social format then you will just have a forum and if you still want access to your other activities you need to add the "Social activities block". If you change to the Single activity format you will only see the activity you chose to display, and your other activities will be hidden from students but available to you in a greyed out section. If you then revert back from Single activity to Topics or Weekly format you will need to un-hide those sections.

==How can I move items easily on a course with lots of activities?==
See the Tips and tricks section of [[Course homepage]] for a method allowing you to avoid scrolling issues when moving an activity or resource in a busy course.

==Can I put a course in more than one category?==

No. However, there is a workaround. With the Single activity course format, it is possible to add a URL as the single activity. The URL can be a redirect to a course in a different category, thus giving the appearance of a course in more than one category.

Talk:Course overview

2019-11-21T06:52:35Z

Marycooch: replying to Cam Howard

In the section titled "Past, In Progress and Future courses" the first bullet point says "For courses to appear in the 'Past' section, the course end date must be in the past or the course must be completed."

My experience is that both conditions are needed for a course to appear in the "Past" section if course completion is turned on in the course settings.

I propose that point be updated to say "For courses to appear in the 'Past' section, the course end date must be in the past or the course must be completed. If course completion is turned on in the course settings, the course will not appear in the 'Past' section until course completion conditions are met even if the course end date is in the past."

Is this proposed wording accurate?

Marycooch:

==Uploading files==

*In many places in Moodle, users will see a notice saying they can drag and drop files to upload them.
*They can also add files from what Moodle calls '''Repositories''' which allow them to upload from their computer, import from Google Drive (for example), Wikipedia and other external sites.
*Uploaded files can take up a lot of space on your server. With MoodleCloud sites your storage space is restricted, so try to encourage teachers and students to use external sites such as Google Drive or OneDrive.

Marycooch: /* Adding a cohort to a course */

==Groups in Moodle==
Course participants can be grouped together in Moodle in two ways:
* throughout the site or a course category, using a '''cohort'''. You can add and remove users from the cohort and they will automatically be added or removed from the courses with this cohort.

==Groups in Moodle==
Course participants can be grouped together in Moodle in two ways:
* throughout the site or a course category, using a '''cohort'''. You can add and remove users from the cohort and they will automatically be added or removed from the courses with this cohort.
* within a course, using a '''group'''. Students may be added to course groups so different teachers can share a course, or so they can work through different materials.
