Copying groups and group members to a new course

Copying groups and group members to a new course

We have a big school, about 1200 students and about 20 teachers using Moodle.

We have constant student groups, and they study in different Moodle courses as groups.

At the moment *every* time a student group starts a new Moodle course, the teacher has to *create* a new group and *add members* to that group. Even when that group has been made in previous Moodle courses and already exists. 

This means teachers have to create the exact same group tens of times in different Moodle courses.

Is there a way to create a group *only once* and just *copy* that group with its members to a new course. This would save our school crazybonkers amount of time and nerves.

Hello,

Please see the FAQ 'Can I use the same groups for more than one course?' in Groups FAQ for various options.
