This guide explains the creation and use of groupings in Moodle. Groupings enable you to collate a series of groups together. If a student is in more than one group, or you want multiple groups to work on an activity together, you will need to use groupings for the groups to correctly work on the activity.

2. Select 'More' from the drop-down menu.
3. Select 'Groups' from the 'Users' tab.

Add groups to a grouping
