Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Re: Problems with 'grouping'

Just one question about groups:

I need to find some way practical to monitor lessons when I work with groups.
For example:

I have 40 students,and I want them to work in the same lesson in groups of 3. I have two options:

1.- I make 13 groups in my class in lams and add the same lesson (sequence) in each group, so I have the groups clearly organised an I am able to monitor the work of each group in a clear way as I have a link to monitor and mark the lesson for each group. Problem: If I want to work this way I don't know how to do it in Moodle, I don't know how to make the groups before and not in the sequence.

2.- I make one sequence where I put a grouping activity (that can work in Moodle-Lams integration, though I have to wait till every of my 40 students access the lesson to make the groups) but I don't know how to make the monitoring in a more practical way, because in that case working either in Moodle-Lams integration or in Lams alone, I have in the learner tab of the monitoring window my 40 students all in a list, without an specific order.If only I could order them in the groups of the grouping activity, it would be more pratical to mark or to monitor the lesson of each group. But I don't know how come I can know which learners are in each group except of clicking on the grouping activity....Someone can help me, there is a more practical way to monitor by groups?

I hope I made myself undestood!

Thanks in advance.
