Grouptool module

With the Grouptool activity, teachers can create groups and give students the opportunity to register and deregister for these groups independently or, if necessary, to register for waiting lists.

No support in the comments section on this page! See below for bug reports and support.

Usage

In a course, the participants are to give group presentations. The teacher therefore creates a group for each presentation topic in the grouptool and specifies the maximum number of participants for each topic. They also allow waiting lists. Students can now register for the group of their choice within the specified period. If the desired group is already full, they can sign up for the waiting list and move up if someone in the group de-registers. After the registration deadline, the teacher starts an allocation process that assigns the participants on the waiting list to other groups with open places.

Documentation

You can find a documentation for the plugin on the AMC website.

Bug Reports / Support

We try our best to deliver bug-free plugins, but we can not test the plugin for every platform, database, PHP and Moodle version. If you find any bug please report it on GitHub. Please provide a detailed bug description, including the plugin and Moodle version and, if applicable, a screenshot.

You may also file a request for enhancement on GitHub. If we consider the request generally useful and if it can be implemented with reasonable effort we might implement it in a future version.

You may also post general questions on the plugin on GitHub, but note that we do not have the resources to provide detailed support.

    Hello,
    Are the groups automatically updated when new students enroll in the course?

    I've been writing some SQL queries for the Ad-hoc reports plugin, looking at the data stored by the grouptool plugin. It took a bit of experimentation because I couldn't find any documentation showing anyone else's attempts. Where is the best place to share this? The general ad_hoc_contributed_reports (https://docs.moodle.org/401/en/ad-hoc_contributed_reports?) page is unwieldy, verging on unusable.

    As far as I know none of the AMC members use the Ad-hoc reports plugin, therefore we do not have any experience with it. In any case, if you think your work should be documented with the Grouptool docs please open a GitHub issue and we will have a look at it. If you have any question with respect to the data structure of the Grouptool plugin, open a Github issue as well.
