Local Moodle plugin to synchronize meta-course groups

Moodle Meta Link Group and Grouping Synchronization

Requirements

• Moodle 2.7 (build 2014051200) or later.
• Meta-course enrolment (build 2014051200 or later).

Installation

Copy the metagroups folder into your Moodle /local directory and visit your Admin Notification page to complete the installation.

Usage

After installation, or when creating new meta-course enrolment instances, you may need to synchronize existing groups. To do this run the cli/sync.php script (use the --help switch for further instructions on usage) or enable Meta-course groups and groupings synchronization scheduled task.

Any future amendments to groups (add, update and delete) and their membership (add or remove users) in 'child' courses will be automatically reflected in 'parent' courses that use groups.
