In Moodle, group work becomes visible to students when

1. One of the group members submits a file which the group has created together.
  - All group members see the yellow section in the Completion progress bar when the file has not been graded yet.
  - All group members see the green or red section and the grade and feedback after the file has been graded. Note that the teacher can also give individual grades and feedback for group members.
2. A forum is divided into groups so that either
  - The groups work completely independently and do not see the posts written by other groups in the forum.
  - Groups can also view the forum posts of other groups, but only comment on the forum posts of their own group.

In Moodle, the teacher can set up groups and add you to a group. In addition, your teacher can:

1. Provide you with a list of groups of which you choose a group that interests you. After selecting a group you can complete the course by participating in that particular group.
2. Instruct you and the other course participants to organize into groups, for example, in a Zoom meeting breakout room or in a Moodle course discussion forum.
  - After group formation, you add your group information to Moodle yourself, and can submit files as a group or take part in group discussion successfully.

Instructions for forming and joining groups are given for each activity.

These instructions include:

1. The minimum and maximum number of people per group.
2. The date by which you need to create or join a group.
3. Whether one member of the group submits the file or whether all group members must submit a file.
4. Whether group discussion is visible to a particular group only or whether groups can also view the discussions of other groups.
5. Whether you can complete a group assignment on your own. If this is possible, you must set up a one-person group for the assignment.

All group members see the feedback and grade given by the teacher at the same time. The teacher can also specify that the group members receive different grades and different feedback.

Now you have learned about the principles of group work in Moodle.
