   1 <h1>Group Mode</h1>
   2
   3 <p>The group mode can be one of three levels:</p>
   4 <ul>
   5     <li>No groups - there are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community</li>
   6     <li>Separate groups - each group can only see their own group, others are invisible</li>
   7     <li>Visible groups - each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups</li>
   8 </ul>
   9
  10 <p>The group mode can be defined at two levels:</p>
  11
  12 <dl>
  13    <dt><b>1. Course level</b></dt>
  14    <dd><p>The group mode defined at the course level is the default mode
  15        for all activities defined within that course</p></dd>
  16    <dt><b>2. Activity level</b></dt>
  17    <dd><p>Each activity that supports groups can also define its own
  18        grouping mode.  If the course is set to "<a href="help.php?module=moodle&amp;file=groupmodeforce.html">force group mode</a>" then
  19        the setting for each activity is ignored.</p></dd>
