Setting+Up+a+Class

=Setting Up a New Course = Log in to Moodle™ and find the category you would like your course to appear in. In the Course categories section choose the '"Add a new course" button. If you do not see this button this means that you are not in Course Creator mode.

Settings new/edit
As a teacher with editing privileges, you can continually change course settings in the administration block. Begin by giving your course a title then a short name. This will be the name that appears on the button to bring students back to your course main page. It will also appear in the navigation bar at the top of the page. The following is an example of the summary which will appear under the list of courses.

When you open the link, a new empty course homepage will display which looks like this:​

Dates & Times
First set the start date for your class. By default, the course start is the day after the course is created. It is also possible to select the period of time you want to allow students to enroll in this course.

Access Control

 * Group mode: Here you can define the group mode at the course level. This will be the default mode for all activities defined within that course. Please note that it is not necessary to change this setting to enable groups. The default setting of this and 'Force' enables each activity to have its group mode set individually.
 * Force: If the group mode is "forced" at a course-level, then this particular group mode will be applied to every activity in that course. Individual group settings in each activity are then ignored. Because it will take a week or two to get the class up and running, these may be worth hiding it from students until it is ready.
 * The Enrollment Key is given to control access to courses. This is a password which may be e-mailed to students. If you use Groups in a course, you will also need to set a different Enrollment Key for each group.
 * Allowing Guest access will let anyone come in and view your course. It may be a good idea to restrict guest access in a school setting for students' privacy.

Other Settings
There are a number of optional settings to choose from: When you have set all the options, clicking 'Save changes' will create your new course. These settings may be accessed at any time from your course administration panel.
 * You can elect to hide sections from students.
 * You can choose to show or hide grades from students.
 * Reports of all activity in the course can be shown or hidden.
 * The words which you use in the course for teachers and students can be defined.
