13.5Group Mode

Created on 2021-04-14

The group mode defined at the course level is the default mode (i.e. "No groups") for all activities defined within that course. Each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined.

Note Starting from 2020/21 Sem 2, existing teaching groups created by the system in the "Centralized Group" will be Classes instead of Individual Tutorial Groups. For example:
