List of the various resource and activities and comparison how groups are either relevant or not for each of them

== List of the various resource and activities and comparison how groups are either relevant or not for each of them==

As it is defined in [https://docs.moodle.org/en/group/index Moodle docs], the group mode can be defined at two levels:

* Course level - the group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. This is determined in the course settings.

* Activity level - each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available i.e. there is no Groups icon next to activities on the course page.

Moreover there are three group modes:
* No groups: there are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community.
* Separate groups: each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.
* Visible groups: each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups. (The other groups' work is read-only)

However, it is a functionality that perhaps could be added because when the number of words increases a lot, it could be helpful the separate or visibility functionality. It also would be useful to add the category option.

== Separate, visible, and no groups concepts ==

=== Are there activities that do not use groups? ===

Yes, as it can be seen in the above table, both glossary and lesson doesn't have the group functionality in "update glossary / lesson".

=== Do we use the concept consistently across the various activities?===

There is not consistency because:

1. In the the course pages seems that groups modes are implemented in all activities but if you go to the update glossary / lesson, you cannot select group functionality while in the updates of the other activities you can.

2. Category grading should be implemented in all activities.

3. The workshop particularly has no ID nor formatting grouping the different settings (settings are grouped in "general", "grade settings", etc.)

=== Guidelines to be consistent when preparing to make use of groups===

*Consider the lack of consistence mentioned before.
*The group and category functionality could be added to resources (labels, text and web pages, file or website, directory, and IMS)
