Set up auto-creation of groups

If you want to quickly create a number of groups, without having to then manually add members you can auto-create groups. If you chose this option you won't be able to configure all of the same settings as when you create a group manually, such as enrolment keys and pictures (although you can edit the groups afterwards and configure those settings). You can configure a number of settings to ensure that groups are auto-created in the way you want. 

1. Go to Course administration > Users > Groups from the Administration block while in a course. 
2. Click Auto-create group. 
3. Configure the settings.
4. Click Submit.
