Cohorts and Groups

Cohorts and Groups

Our LMS admin uploaded 200 users for an upcoming training as a cohort.

 

Is it possible for me to group the learners together by batch or will it have a conflict with the existing cohort?

 

Thanks!

Charlie: "Batch"??  This is not a Moodle term I have heard of.

You will need to explain.  In Moodle we have cohorts and groups.  Cohorts go across the site (depending).  Groups are within a course.

Hello Derek. My bad, it's not a Moodle term; I used "batch" to refer to a group of people, like a group of students who are part of batch 2013.

No conflict at all. Cohorts area at the system level and groups are at the course level. Users can be in multiple cohorts and multiple groups without conflict.

Thanks Emma!

Does this mean I can freely create and delete groups without risk of losing their grades?
