01:26	Before we begin, please ask your Moodle site administrator to add 5 or 6 users to your Moodle site.
01:36	You will be adding these new users to your course later. So ensure that new users are added to your Moodle site.
01:47	Teachers in Moodle cannot add new users to the system. They can only enroll users that are already added by the site administrator.

02:06	Click on the Calculus course in the left navigation menu.

03:18	We can see the number of enrolled users for the Calculus course at the top of the page.
03:25	Next, let us learn how to make some groups in the course.
03:30	These groups will help us assign students for group activities.
03:36	I will make 2 groups - Explorers and Creators.
03:42	Click on Calculus in the breadcrumb to go back to the course page.

04:30	Then click on Add/remove users button at the bottom right.
04:36	I will select Susmitha and Sai from the list of students.
04:42	And then click on Add button in the middle of the 2 columns.
04:48	On the left, observe the list of users in the group Explorers.
04:54	On the right, observe the list of all other students enrolled in this course.

05:15	Click on Back to groups button at the bottom of the page.
05:21	Pause this tutorial and do this small assignment. Add a new group called Creators
05:28	Assign 2 new users to that group Resume the tutorial when done.
05:35	Now you should be able to see a screen like this.
05:40	Notice the columns Roles, Groups and Enrolment Methods have icons.
05:48	Move your mouse over each of the icons to understand their functions.
05:55	Note that: An enrolled student can belong to more than one group as well.
06:02	Let us now see how we can send a message to the students.
06:07	Click on Participants link in the left navigation bar.
06:12	This will show the list of all enrolled users with their assigned roles in the course.
06:19	By default, Moodle Participants page displays only 20 students.
06:25	You will need to click on Show all if you have more than 20 students to see all the students. The link is not visible right now because I don’t have more than 20 students.
06:38	There are some filters seen above the list of users. Use them to help select the right set of users.
06:46	I will select Student in the Current role dropdown.
06:51	This will filter the list to show only the users who have student role assigned to them.
06:58	Click on Select all button at the bottom of the page to select all the students.
07:04	Then select Send a message in With selected users dropdown.

07:22	Then at the bottom, click on the Preview button, to preview the message before sending.
07:29	You can also update the message, if required, by clicking on the Update button.
07:35	To send the message, click on the Send message button.
07:40	You will see a confirmation message and a link to go to back to the participants lists.

08:00	Let’s select any 2 users.
08:03	Select Add a new note from the With selected users dropdown.
08:09	In the Content text area of one user, I will type the note as shown.
08:15	In the Content text area next to another user, I will type the note as shown here.
08:22	Look at the Context dropdown to the right.
08:26	The Context of a note determines which users can see the note.
08:31	A personal note will be seen only by the teacher and the student being sent to.
08:38	A course note will be visible to the other teachers of this course.
08:44	A site note will be visible to all teachers in all courses.
08:50	Most institutions have their own rules regarding communication between teachers and students.
