Students groups inside courses
Hi, I like implement moodle in the classroom of my university (UTN- Argentina) but i like separate students of one course into various groups , with own teacher, papers, forum, etc; the same is the program.
Thanks. RMV
PD.sorry my english
Re: Students groups inside courses
Currently the best way to do this is simply to create several Moodle "courses". eg RMV100 Group 1, RMV100 Group 2 etc
Real group control will be coming in a future release.

I have a similar situation. I ended up making a category to represent the class as a whole, and then, in that category, I made individual courses for each group of students.
Since most of the resources used for the groups are web page I didn't have to duplicate any work, just link them again for each "group class".
I hope this helps.

Hmm. I'm not sure that would work for me (I really want to keep them all together as one class), but the ability to have forums limited to specific groups would be very, very helpful indeed. I see that will be coming along later, though. 
One reason the multi-class kludge wouldn't work all that well is that we don't put the students in groups until 1/3 of the way through the quarter. Also, we shift them from group to group occasionally (for example, last quarter 3 out of 5 members of one group dropped the class, so I moved the other 2), so whatever system exists needs to be flexible in that sense.
