Feature request - Sub groups creation in separate groups mode
Hi, Thank you for your plugin. I have been testing it on Moodle. This is the situation we have:
- Our courses work always in separate groups. Group 0001, Group 0002... let's say each have 25 students. Our Course Instructors take one of the groups as a class, and sometimes more than one. So they are enrolled in the Group too as non-editing teachers.
- During the term, we need to create subgroups of around 5 students for special projects. So that students in Group 0001 will be randomly allocated in either Project Group 0001A, Project Group 0001B... while students in Group 0002 will be in Project Group 0002A, Project Group 0002B...
- We use the Moodle tool Autocreate groups, which randomly creates the required number of Project Groups and enrolls the students within. It is however manual work to go Group by Group to create sub groups, and also you need to add the teacher to ALL the Project Groups, or he won't be able to monitor progress.
- We see that the following features would be needed to use Group Choice for this task:
- At a certain date, subgroups would be created automatically by Group Choice according to the number of students in a Group and the minimum amount of students desired in a subgroup and according to a naming preference.
- Students will be presented with the choice of subgroups only for those subgroups created from their Group. So for example, students in Group 0002 will not see as an option to enroll themselves in Project Group 0001A, or Project Group 0001B.
- The Instructor in Group 0001 will be automatically enrolled in all the subgroups belonging to Group 0001 (and any other group the instructor is enrolled to) at the completion of the choosing process (determined by the date of closing the activity)
Thank you! Best,
