Uso como estudiante

• As default, student may have access to four actions in the main view: (s)he may create a group, become a member of a group, leave a group, or edit groups description

• Selecting and leaving of a group is done by pressing the corresponding button in Action column for the desired group
• Creating/selecting is only possible if the student is not a member of a group (in the selected grouping). When creating a group, student can set a password for the group to prevent unwanted members from joining. Password protected groups have a lock icon displayed in the main view

• Clicking own groups description text sets it editable (if Students can set and edit group description is enabled), OK saves changes and clicking elsewhere discards changes

• If the activity has Min members per group setting enabled, red warning icons are displayed for every group not satisfying this limit, also the members of such a group have a text notification displayed at notifications area

Uso como profesor

• Teacher has a couple of possible actions: CSV-export and non-editing teacher assigning
• Exporting group data as a CSV-file is done by clicking corresponging button on the main view. This creates a download link, which can then be clicked to initiate download. A row represents one group in the CSV-file and the values are comma separated. Latest Excel and Libreoffice software should manage to open the file directly, if not, try different separator and character set options
• Assigning non-editing teachers to groups is possible if corresponding setting is enabled and the course has non-editing teacher users. Pressing the assignment button divides the groups randomly and evenly to non-editing teachers. Assignment is irreversible but can be redone. If students should know their assigned teacher, it is recommended to enable setting Show assigned teachers, otherwise the assignments show up only in the export file
