 ====== Group choice ======
-Instructors can assign students to groups to work in either the course or individual activities. \\
+The "**Group choice**" activity is required if students are to select themselves into Moodle groups. \\
-Activities in the course that are run in group mode allow user contributions to be filtered by group affiliation.
+Moodle groups can be used, for example, to display materials only for certain students. Or groups can discuss among themselves in the forum. Or tasks can be submitted as a group.
+In activities, user contributions can be filtered by group membership.
+Find more on groups in the topic "[[de:moodle:user:groups:start#gruppenwahlstudierende_waehlen_selbst_eine_gruppe_aus|Groups]]".
+===== Set up “Group choice” =====
+**Note**: First create the "[[en:moodle:user:groups:start|Groups]]". Then add the "**Group choice**". \\

+**Note**: \\
+"**Group choice**" is "first come, first served"! \\
