How to restrict the access to an activity, resource or section to one or more groups

In order to restrict the access to an activity, resource or section to one or more groups of students you will need to follow these steps:

  1. ARRANGE THE GROUPS THAT WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE ACTIVITY OR RESOURCE
  2. CREATE THE ACTIVITY, RESOURCE OR SECTION
  3. RESTRICT THE ACCESS TO THE GROUP(S)

 

STEP 1. THE GROUP(S)

If the groups that will have access to the activity or resource are a subset of the class gups (of the SIGMA or TCS type), you will have to have them previously created in the classroom. You can do it by following the instructions: How to create groups in my Moodle classroom and assign students.
