Moodle LMS is used by more than 350 million users across the globe. The vast collection of Moodle plugins is one of the main reasons behind its popularity. There are more than 2,100 plugins contributed by the community in the official plugins directory. In this post we will see the Restriction by cohort Moodle plugin.
The Restriction by cohort Moodle plugin is an availability restriction plugin which allows you to restrict access to course activities, resources based on the cohorts. In Moodle, cohorts are site-wide or course category-wide groups which allows all members of the cohort to be easily enrolled in a course.
If you are looking for a solution to restrict course activities and resources to students who are part of a cohort, then this plugin is tailor made for you. As a teacher you can add the “cohort” availability condition to activities / resources / sections in your courses.
You can download the latest version of the Restriction by Cohort Moodle plugin from the official directory here. In case you are new to Moodle please check out this guide to learn how to install Moodle plugins.
Once installed, you can directly start using the plugin. All you need to do is to select the Cohort availability condition to activities and then choose the cohort in which students are a member in to access the activity / resource / section.
