This tool inserts a link in the “Users” menu of a course and lets a Manager take the course's enrolled users to build a formal cohort.

• Offers to build a cohort from the users enrolled in the current course
• Filtering by roles (Students by default)
• Choice of the cohort context (course or system)
• Updating of an existing cohort possible

In order not to openly give teachers the general right to handle system cohorts, this component completes a scenario of capitalising global cohorts and groups that starts with a manual enrolment or even a key-based enrolment:

• The teacher builds a course with key-based enrolment
• The teacher physically hands the key to the students
• The students join the course
• The manager, on the teacher's advice, takes all enrolled users and formalises them in a cohort.

Note that the capability to have the link can optionally be pushed down to teacher roles, allowing them to be autonomous in creating the cohort, without however being able to access the other administration functions.

Note: a “Failing” status does not necessarily mean that the plugin does not work. This status reflects the result of automated tests checking the code against Moodle's strict standards. We are continuously working on bringing all supported plugins progressively into compliance with these development rules.
