Grouping students

I've always wanted to have different groups for different activities. Installing the Activity Module: Group Choice, I realised that this is eminently possible. This module isn't what makes it possible, but it makes doing it easier, and the students choose their groups themselves. When they do, they are automatically enrolled in that group. The fact that students can be enrolled in more than one group is what allows this.

Imagine you've got 3 group work activities and you want to allow your 12 students to work with different partners in each activity. So let's say that's 4 groups per activity. Create 12 groups as in the picture below.

When the students participate in the activities, they need to choose their correct group from the drop list. Here is a Chat example.

Using Group Choice for Activity A, include 4 of the 12 groups. For Activity B, a different 4 groups and for Activity C, the last 4 groups.
