This refers to Moodle 4.3 from July 2024 onward

The new group availability feature makes the process of sending announcements to groups of students even easier in Moodle.

For the below approach to work, you need to make sure you have already set up groups on your module. Follow this guide to find out how to set up your groups in advance.

Sending Group Announcements

  1. Navigate to your Moodle module and locate the announcements activity under 'General'
  2. Turn on Editing Mode within your Moodle module.
  3. Hover over the announcements activity until the groups icon appears on the right hand side.
  4. Click the groups icon and select 'Separate Groups'.
  5. Turn off Editing Mode.
  6. Click into the Announcements activity.
  7. You will now see a new drop down menu above your list of announcements. This will let you choose a group. If you choose 'All Participants' then you will be able to send an announcement to everyone on the module. If you select one of your groups, you will be sending an announcement to that group only.

Note: As you will see, when you select a group it will also show you all the announcements sent to everyone, alongside those sent only to the group.

Following this guide you can easily manage group and all participant announcements from the same pre-existing area within your Moodle site.
