Am i going to be a right way.?

I created a category[i.e. cat-1] and then create cohort[i.e. coh-1] for this category cat-1.

I created a course[i.e. maths] and sync the cohort coh-1 to course maths.

As I read in cohort docs that if we create a cohort within a category, we can not enroll this cohort to other category courses.


My question is when we move the course i.e. maths ( created inside the course category cat-1 synced with cohort coh-1 ) from one category(cat-1) to another category(cat-2), it still shows the enrolled user of cohort coh-1 while cat-2 has a different cohort??

and also I want to know how to unsync cohort ftom course??

 

Thanks!!smile

Hello,

cohort sync is not hard-linked to categories, there is an artificial restriction that you can use only cohorts from system or parent categories when setting up new cohort sync. It is safe to move the courses around, the cohorts will be kept in sync. If you want to remove some cohort sync delete it from the list of course enrolment methods. Alternatively if you want to keep users in groups and do not want to loose all grades, etc. you can just disable the cohort sync.

I am in despair trying to find someone who can answer the following simple question:

Having created a cohort in one category, how can I find this cohort and change its category to something else (like system wide)?

If you can select a level from system down through categories when you create a cohort then surely it should be easy to find that cohort afterwards and reassign it to a different category or system-wide (which will be my default from now on so I never have to waste my time with this again).  So why am I, thinking myself intelligent my whole life, failing to find this option among the myriad links and options all over the place in Moodle 2.2.

And why on this beautiful Earth would it be possible to make a cohort available within a category but not be able to enrol it in the category (so you don't have to add the cohort to each course individually)?  Like you have deluxe club membership but you have to re-apply to go into any of the actual rooms.

If I could get a handle on what in our magnificent Universe's name the developers were thinking I might be a little less frustrated than I am right now.

Please help.

Go to course category where is your cohort and click on "Cohorts" in category settings block. It is the usual place for any category settings and tools.

Thanks for that swift reply.  I had given up. 

I was looking for a cohort (assigned to a category) and it did not occur to me to look in the category for the cohort.  This may seem stupid, until you realise I was in another category looking for the cohort when I noticed it was not available there! 

The first place that made sense for me to look was in administration>plugins>enrolments>cohortsync (no luck) ... then
manage enrolment plugins (no luck) ... then in users>accounts>cohorts (no luck) then I tried to find a student enrolled using cohort sync to try and get in the back door (no luck).

It may seem obvious to you thatcohorts settings are to be found at administration>courses>add/editcourses>[my category]>[back up to the settings block]cohorts but it wasn't obvious to me! Especially as the final cohorts does not become visble until you get inside the category.

BTW while writing this reply I have noticed that the cohort you helped me move with the above useful instruction is no longer listed in the category I moved it from, even though I reassigned it to be system-wide. So the same cohort I was looking for before is now to be found somewhere else.

Can you tell me where?

Another question for Cohort Sync. I want to add a cohort of teachers as non-editing teachers to a Category, so they all have non-editing teacher roles in all of the courses within that category.

I have looked everywhere, set all the settings as per Moodle Docs but still cannot progress.
