<p>Fern: Mock-up for Cohorts/Global Groups</p> <hr /> <div>The goals specified seem to cover exactly what I think the use case for 'global groups' are :) --[[User:Dan Poltawski|Dan Poltawski]] 23:50, 8 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> It would be useful to expand the comments about replacing category enrolments. Assignment to a role for a category e.g. as course Creator is a method used extensively to provide delegated permissions by department, school etc. It would be a shame for this to be lost in 2.0.<br /> <br /> Will cohorts be role agnostic in the same way as course groups?<br /> <br /> The following is a frequently asked for use case that doesn't seem to be catered for in specification here:<br /> <br /> Site administrator (or others with relevant permissions) can allocate to a cohort e.g. cohort a, cohort b.<br /> <br /> The site administrator wants to hand over responsibility for allocating users to cohort a to a user in cohort a who has the necessary permissions. This user should not be able to access any other cohort or allocate users to them. Are the new capabilities granualar enough to facilitate this? --[[User:Ray Lawrence|Ray Lawrence]] 09:53, 31 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> --------<br /> This mock-up (shown here: http://dev1.moodlefn.com/moodle-global-groups.pdf )contains a handful of features that (I think) are an important part of the Cohorts/Global Groups design at the site level. In particular..<br /> <br /> 1. Ability to control Global Groups membership and course enrolment at the site level<br /> 2. Ability to perform manual course enrolment (not synched) with Global Groups view<br /> 3. Ability to set up synched course enrolment based on Global Groups<br /> 4. Ability to sync group members (without groups) or group members and thier associated groups<br /> 5. Prevent synched groups from being edited at the course level<br /> 6. Allow Group Managers (role) to be assigned to Global Groups and Cohorts<br /> 7. Allow Global Groups have profiles (avatar + description + custom fields)<br /> <br /> Please feel free to lift ideas or elements from the provided mock-up.<br /> [User: Fernando Oliveira June 21, 2010)<br /> ---------</div>
