==== Digression: Publish results ====

In this chapter we will show how the settings regarding the publication of results affect the participants' view.
[[Datei:Gruppenmitglieder anzeigen.png|links|miniatur|441x441px|Always show results]]

The setting '''Always show results''' is the default setting and will cause all students to see all others.
<br clear="all">
[[Datei:Ergebnisse nach der Wahl.png|links|miniatur|452x452px|Results only after the election]]

If you select '''Don't show results until the voting is finished''', students will not be able to see the other names until the voting is finished. This is also noted below for the students.
<br clear="all">
[[Datei:Ergebnisse nach Stimmabgabe.png|links|miniatur|456x456px|Results after own vote]]

The '''After own voting''' setting means that students cannot see the other names until they have chosen a group themselves.
<br clear="all">
[[Datei:Ergebnisse nicht sichtbar.png|links|miniatur|463x463px|Do not publish results]]

If you select the '''Do not publish results''' setting then no student will be able to see other students' names.

* To make a group selection as a participant, go to the corresponding course and select the desired group selection. In this example the group selection is called "Test 2".
* After that you will be taken to the group selection where you can now register in a group. If you click on '''Show descriptions''' you can see a description text for the respective group - if available. Under '''Group members/ maximum number''' you can see how many students are allowed to join a group and how many students have already joined the group. In this example, 3 out of 5 possible students have registered for the "test group".
