Goals

Site-wide groups (aka cohorts) is one of the most requested missing features.

  • Simplify manual enrolments - instead of enrolling students one by one, it would be possible to enrol a cohort with single click.
  • Cohort enrolment plugin - new enrolment plugin synchronising users in cohort with enrolments in a course (including role assignment and group membership)
  • Synchronisation with external systems - some external systems do not know the actual courses, they only contain some user groups, at present we do not have a simple way to reuse these groups in Moodle.
  • Partially replace meta courses - metacourse is a confusing concept for many people, there are several unsolved problems and performance issues.
  • Partially replace category enrolments - category enrolments have major design issues and are not compatible with proposed enrolment changes.
