Feedback is essential for learning. Moodle allows you to track your progress and view detailed grading information from your instructors.

__TOC__

== 1. The Gradebook Overview ==
To see a summary of your performance across all subjects:
# Click your '''User Avatar''' in the top right corner.
# Select '''Grades''' from the dropdown menu.

== 2. Detailed Course Grades ==
To see the breakdown of a specific class:
# Enter the course page.
# Click the '''Grades''' tab in the secondary navigation bar (below the course title).
# This opens the '''User report'''.

=== Understanding the User Report Columns ===
The grade table can look complex. Here is what the columns mean:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Column
! Explanation
|-
| '''Grade item'''
| The name of the assignment, quiz, or activity.
|-
| '''Calculated weight'''
| How much this assignment counts towards the final course grade (e.g., 20%).
|-
| '''Grade'''
| Your score (e.g., 85.00).
|-
| '''Range'''
| The possible lowest and highest scores (e.g., 0–100).
|-
| '''Percentage'''
| Your grade converted to a percentage (e.g., 85%).
|-
| '''Feedback'''
| Short text comments from the teacher.
|}

== 3. Viewing Detailed Feedback (Assignments) ==
The Gradebook view only shows the score and a short comment. To see full details, marked-up PDFs, or Rubrics:

# Go back to the course homepage.
# Click on the link of the specific '''Assignment''' again (the same place where you uploaded it).
# Scroll down to the '''Feedback''' section (below the submission status).

=== What to look for: ===
* '''Grade''': The final score.
* '''Graded on''': When the teacher finished marking.
* '''Feedback comments''': A longer message from the instructor.
* '''Annotated PDF''': Highly Recommended. If you see a PDF icon here named "Annotated PDF", click to open it. This is your original paper with the teacher's red pen marks, highlights, and specific notes directly on the pages.
* '''Rubric''': If a rubric was used, you will see the grid showing exactly which criteria you met and where you lost points.

== 4. Viewing Detailed Feedback (Quizzes) ==
# Open the Quiz activity.
# You will see a "Summary of your previous attempts".
# Click the link labeled '''Review''' (in the right-hand column).

Submitting assignments correctly is the most important technical skill you need. Moodle provides a secure way to upload your work and receive proof of submission.

__TOC__

== 1. Locating the Assignment ==
Assignments are identified by an icon usually depicted as a hand holding a paper document 🖐️📄.
# Enter your course.
# Scroll to the relevant week or topic (e.g., "Week 4: Final Project").
# Click on the Assignment link (e.g., "Submission: Case Study Analysis").

== 2. Understanding the Submission Status ==
Before you upload anything, look at the '''Submission status''' table on the assignment page.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Status
! Meaning
|-
| '''No attempt'''
| You have not uploaded anything yet.
|-
| '''Draft (not submitted)'''
| You uploaded a file, but you have '''NOT''' officially submitted it. You can still edit it. ''Warning: Teachers might not see this if the deadline passes!''
|-
| '''Submitted for grading'''
| Success! Your work is locked and sent to the teacher.
|-
| '''Overdue'''
| The deadline has passed.
|}

== 3. Step-by-Step Submission Process ==

=== Step 1: Add Submission ===
# Click the grey button labeled '''Add submission'''.
# You will see a file upload area.

=== Step 2: Upload Your File ===
There are two ways to upload:
* '''Method A: Drag and Drop (Easiest)'''
** Open the folder on your computer where your file is saved.
** Click and hold the file.
** Drag it into the box with the big blue arrow in Moodle.
** Release the mouse. Wait for the loading bar to finish.
* '''Method B: File Picker'''
** Click the '''File icon''' (top left of the box).
** Click '''Upload a file''' → '''Choose File'''.
** Select your document and click '''Open'''.
** Click '''Upload this file'''.

=== Step 3: Save Changes ===
# Once the file icon appears in the box, click '''Save changes'''.
# You are now returned to the status page.
# '''STOP AND CHECK:''' Look at the status. Does it say "Submitted"?
#* If the system allows "Drafts", it might still say "Draft (not submitted)".

=== Step 4: Final Submission (The "Button of Truth") ===
If your status says "Draft", you must perform this final step:
# Click the button '''Submit assignment'''.
# Moodle will ask for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to submit your work for grading? You will not be able to make any more changes."
# Check the box confirming the work is your own (Plagiarism Statement).
# Click '''Continue'''.
# Verify the status is now green: '''Submitted for grading'''.

== 4. File Requirements ==
* '''File Type''': Most teachers require PDF (`.pdf`) or Word (`.docx`). Do not upload `.pages` (Mac) or `.gdoc` (Google) links unless instructed.
* '''File Size''': The maximum limit is usually shown on the upload screen (e.g., 50MB). If your file is too big, convert images to lower resolution or save as "Reduced Size PDF".

== 5. Editing or Removing a Submission ==
* '''Before the deadline''': If you haven't clicked the final "Submit" button yet, you can click '''Edit submission''' to remove the old file and upload a new one.
* '''After the deadline''' OR '''After clicking Submit''': You cannot change your file. You must contact your teacher or the academic office to request them to "Revert submission to draft".

Communication is key to online learning. Moodle provides different types of forums for different needs.

__TOC__

== 1. Announcements (The "News" Forum) ==
Every course comes with a special forum called '''Announcements''' automatically created at the top.

* '''Direction''': One-way. Only teachers can post here. Students can read, but cannot reply.
* '''Subscription''': Forced. All students receive an email copy of these posts automatically.
* '''Use Case''': "Class is cancelled today", "Exam grades are released", "Welcome to Week 1".
* '''Warning''': Do not delete this forum. If you delete it, you lose the ability to blast emails to the whole class.

== 2. Standard Forum (Discussion Board) ==
If you want students to talk to you or each other, add a new Forum.

# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Add activity → '''Forum'''.
# '''Name''': e.g., "Week 1 Q&A".

=== Forum Types ===
Choose the right "Forum type" in the settings:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Type
! Behavior
! Best For...
|-
| '''Standard forum for general use''' (Default)
| Anyone can start a new topic. Anyone can reply.
| Open discussions, social cafes, general Q&A.
|-
| '''Q and A forum'''
| The teacher posts a question. Students '''must post their own reply''' before they can see other students' replies.
| Assessment tasks where you don't want students copying each other.
|-
| '''A single simple discussion'''
| A single topic/thread, right on the page. No "Add new topic" button.
| Short, focused discussions (e.g., "Introduce yourself here").
|}

== 3. Subscription Mode ==
This controls whether students get emails when someone posts.

* '''Optional subscription''': Students can choose to subscribe or unsubscribe (Recommended for general chatter).
* '''Forced subscription''': Everyone gets emails. They cannot opt-out.
* '''Auto subscription''': Everyone is subscribed initially, but they can opt-out if it gets too annoying.

== 4. Grading Forums ==
You can grade participation!

* In Forum settings, go to '''Whole forum grading'''.
* Set '''Type''' to "Point".
* When you view the discussion, you will see a "Grade" button next to student posts. This is great for "Participation Grade" requirements.

Creating a Quiz in Moodle is a two-step process: first, you create the questions (Question Bank), and second, you build the quiz "shell" and add the questions to it.

__TOC__

== Step 1: The Question Bank (Do this first!) ==
Think of the Question Bank as a library. You write questions here, and they are saved forever, ready to be used in any quiz.

# Go to the course main page.
# Click '''More''' (secondary menu) → '''Question bank'''.
# '''Select a Category''': Use the dropdown to choose "Default for [Course Name]".
#* ''Tip: Create a new category (e.g., "Midterm Questions") to keep things organized.''
# Click '''Create a new question'''.

=== Common Question Types ===
* '''Multiple choice''': Can be "One answer only" or "Multiple answers allowed".
* '''True/False''': Simple binary choice.
* '''Essay''': A text box for open-ended answers. Note: The system cannot auto-grade this. You must grade it manually.
* '''Short answer''': The student types a word. The system matches it against your list of correct keywords (case sensitivity options available).

== Step 2: Creating the Quiz Shell ==
Now that you have questions, create the exam paper.

# Return to the course page.
# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Add an activity → '''Quiz'''.
# '''Name''': e.g., "Chapter 1 Review".

=== Key Settings ===
* '''Timing''':
** ''Open/Close the quiz'': The window of availability.
** ''Time limit'': Once they start, how long do they have? (e.g., 60 minutes).
** ''When time expires'': Choose '''"Open attempts are submitted automatically"'''. This prevents students from losing work if they forget to hit submit.
* '''Grade''':
** ''Attempts allowed'': "1" for exams, "Unlimited" for practice.
* '''Review options''' (Crucial!):
** These checkboxes control when students see their score and the correct answers.
** ''Immediately after the attempt'': Good for practice quizzes.
** ''After the quiz is closed'': Best for exams (prevents students sharing answers).

== Step 3: Adding Questions to the Quiz ==
You have a shell, but it's empty.

# Click the Quiz title to open it.
# You will see a message: "No questions have been added yet".
# Click the '''Add question''' button.
# Click '''Add''' (on the right) → '''from question bank'''.
# Select your category (e.g., "Midterm Questions").
# Check the boxes next to the questions you want.
# Click '''Add selected questions to the quiz'''.

=== Shuffling ===
* Check the box '''Shuffle''' at the top of the question list if you want every student to see questions in a random order.

The Assignment activity allows teachers to collect work from students, review it, and provide grades and feedback. It is the most used assessment tool in Moodle.

__TOC__

== 1. Creating an Assignment ==
# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Click '''Add an activity or resource'''.
# Select '''Assignment'''.
# Give it a clear '''Assignment name''' (e.g., "Week 4 Essay: Case Study").

== 2. Availability (Dates & Deadlines) ==
This is the most critical section to prevent student confusion.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting
! Function
! 💡 Best Practice
|-
| '''Allow submissions from'''
| Students cannot submit before this date.
| Set this to the day you release the topic.
|-
| '''Due date'''
| The official deadline. Submissions after this date are marked as Late but are still accepted.
| Always set a time (e.g., 23:59).
|-
| '''Cut-off date'''
| The "Hard" deadline. The "Add submission" button disappears after this date.
| Use this if you do not accept ANY late work. Otherwise, leave it blank to allow late submissions.
|-
| '''Remind me to grade by'''
| Just a notification for the teacher. Students don't see this.
| Set it to 1-2 weeks after the due date.
|}

== 3. Submission Types ==
Control what the student actually sends you.

* '''File submissions''': Students upload a Word, PDF, or PPT file.
** ''Maximum number of files'': Usually 1 or 2 is enough.
** ''Maximum submission size'': Stick to the site limit (e.g., 50MB).
** ''Accepted file types'': Recommended. Type `.pdf` or `.docx` to force students to use standard formats. This ensures you can open their files.
* '''Online text''': Students type directly into a text box in Moodle.
** Good for short reflections (200-500 words) or journals. Not recommended for long essays (risk of browser crash losing data).

== 4. Grading Settings ==
* '''Grade Type''':
** ''Point'': Standard numerical score (e.g., out of 100).
** ''Scale'': Pass/Fail, or Letter grades (A/B/C), if configured by the admin.
* '''Grading method''':
** ''Simple direct grading'': Just enter a number.
** ''Rubric'': A clickable grid of criteria (requires advanced setup).

== 5. Feedback Types ==
Ensure '''Feedback comments''' is checked. This allows you to write notes to the student alongside their grade.
* Optional: '''Annotate PDF'''. If enabled, you can draw/write directly on the student's PDF submission within the browser.

== 6. Granting Extensions (User Overrides) ==
If a student is sick and needs extra time, DO NOT change the main Due Date. Use an override.

# Click on the Assignment title to open it.
# Click the '''More''' tab (secondary menu) → '''Overrides'''.
# Select '''User overrides'''.
# Click '''Add user override'''.
# Select the student's name.
# Set a custom '''Due date''' and '''Cut-off date''' just for them.
# Click '''Save'''.

Before you can upload a file, create an assignment, or change a date, you must "unlock" the course interface. This page covers the fundamentals of the Moodle interface and how to structure your learning environment.

__TOC__

== 1. The "Edit Mode" Switch ==
In modern Moodle (Version 4.0+), editing is controlled by a simple toggle switch.

* ''Location'': Top right corner of the screen.
* ''Action'': Click the slide toggle labeled '''Edit mode'''.
* ''Visual Change'': When enabled, the toggle turns blue (or brand color), and you will see '''Pencil icons ✎''' and '''Plus signs +''' appear throughout the course page.

'''Note:''' If you cannot see the "Edit mode" switch, verify that you are logged in and have been assigned the correct role (Teacher). Students do not see this switch.
</blockquote>

== 2. Course Formats: Topics vs. Weeks ==
Your course shell comes with a default layout (usually "Topics"), but you can change this to suit your teaching style.

=== Which one should I choose? ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Format
! What it looks like
! Best used for...
|-
| '''Topics Format''' (Thematic)
| Sections are numbered (Topic 1, Topic 2...) or named by subject (e.g., "Intro to Marketing", "Consumer Behavior").
| ✅ ''Module-based courses'' where students can study units at their own pace. ✅ Courses that don't strictly follow the calendar.
|-
| '''Weekly Format''' (Chronological)
| Sections are automatically labeled with dates (e.g., "1 May - 7 May").
| ✅ ''Strictly scheduled courses'' (e.g., a 10-week Pre-Master semester). ✅ Helps students stay on track with deadlines.
|}

=== How to Switch Formats ===
# Go to the '''Settings''' tab (Secondary navigation bar).
# Scroll down to the '''Course format''' section.
# Change the '''Format''' dropdown to "Topics format" or "Weekly format".
# Click '''Save and display'''.

== 3. Renaming Sections and Activities ==
You don't need to open the full settings page just to change a name.

# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Click the '''Pencil icon ✎''' next to any section title (e.g., "Topic 1") or activity name.
# Type the new name (e.g., "Week 1: Introduction").
# CRITICAL: Press the "Enter" key on your keyboard to save.
#* ''If you click anywhere else on the screen, your changes will be cancelled.''

== 4. Moving Items (Reordering) ==
There are two ways to move content around.

=== Method A: Drag and Drop (Main Area) ===
Good for short moves.
# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Hover over an activity. Look for the '''Move icon''' (four arrows ✥) on the left of the item.
# Click, hold, and drag it to the new location.

=== Method B: The Course Index (Sidebar) - Recommended ===

Good for moving items across long distances (e.g., from Week 1 to Week 10).
# Ensure the '''Course Index''' (left sidebar) is open. (Click the "hamburger" menu icon ≡ if hidden).
# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# In the sidebar list, find the item you want to move.
# Drag and drop the text in the sidebar. The main page will update instantly.

== 5. Hiding and Showing Content ==
You can build content in advance but keep it invisible to students until you are ready.

=== To Hide an Item (File/Quiz): ===
# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Click the '''Three Dots (⋮)''' to the right of the item.
# Select '''Hide'''.
# A badge labeled "Hidden from students" will appear.

=== To Hide a Whole Section (Topic): ===
# Go to the section header.
# Click the '''Three Dots (⋮)''' on the right.
# Select '''Hide section'''.
# ''Note: When a section is hidden, everything inside it is automatically hidden, regardless of individual settings.''

== 6. Highlighting the Current Week ==
To help students navigate, you can mark the current module.

# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Find the section/week you want to highlight.
# Click the '''Three Dots (⋮)''' on the right.
# Select '''Highlight'''.
# A colored bar or "Current" badge will appear around that section.

| '''Text and media area''' (formerly "Label")
| Displaying headings, short instructions, or a banner video ''directly on the course homepage''.
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ '''Good''', but don't make it too long or it clutters the scroll.
|}

== 3. Using "Page" (Recommended) ==
We strongly encourage using '''Pages''' instead of uploading Word documents. Pages are easier to update and readable on any device.

=== How to create a Page ===
# Select '''Page''' from the resource menu.
# '''Name''': The link the student clicks (e.g., "Lecture Notes: Week 1").
# '''Page content''': This is the main editor. You can:
#* Type or paste text.
#* Insert images (drag and drop into the box).
#* Insert videos (paste a YouTube/Vimeo link, Moodle will embed it automatically).
# Scroll down and click '''Save and display'''.

<blockquote style="background-color:#e3f2fd; border-left:4px solid #2196f3; padding:10px;">
'''Pro Tip:''' If you find a typo in a Page, you can fix it instantly online. If you find a typo in a Word doc, you have to fix it, save it, delete the old file, and upload the new one. Use Pages!
</blockquote>

== 4. Using "File" (PDFs & PPTs) ==
Use this for content that must preserve its layout (like a complex PDF) or slides for students to keep.

=== Method A: Drag and Drop (Fastest) ===
[Image of Moodle drag and drop file upload]
# Turn '''Edit mode ON'''.
# Open the folder on your computer containing your file.
# Drag the file from your computer directly onto the Moodle course page.
# Release the mouse. Moodle will upload it instantly.
# You can then change its name by clicking the '''Pencil icon ✎'''.

=== Method B: Manual Upload ===
# Select '''File''' from the resource menu.
# '''Name''': Enter a clear title.
# '''Select files''': Drag your file into the upload box.
# '''Appearance Settings''' (Optional):
#* ''Automatic'': Moodle guesses the best way to open it.
#* ''Force download'': The file saves to the student's computer immediately.
#* ''New window'': Opens the file in a new browser tab (Good for keeping Moodle open).

== 5. Using "Text and media area" (Labels) ==
This resource has no "click to enter" link; its content sits directly on the course homepage. It is the "glue" that holds your course structure together.

=== Common Uses ===
* ''Sub-headings'': To break up a long list of files (e.g., "📚 Required Reading" vs "📝 Optional Materials").
* ''Instructions'': A short note saying "Please read Chapter 4 before watching the video below."
* ''Banners'': An image to make the section look nice.

=== How to create it ===
# Select '''Text and media area''' from the resource menu.
# Type your text into the box.
# Use the formatting toolbar to make it '''Bold''' or change the "Heading" size (Large/Medium/Small).
# Click '''Save and return to course'''.

== 6. Using URL (External Links) ==
If you want to link to a news article, a YouTube video, or a library database.

# Select '''URL''' from the resource menu.
# '''Name''': What the student sees (e.g., "Article: The Future of AI").
# '''External URL''': Paste the website address (e.g., `https://...`).
# '''Appearance''': Change "Display" to '''In pop-up''' if you don't want students to leave the Moodle site completely.

Ops: Course Reuse

At the start of a new intake (e.g., Spring 2026), you do not need to build courses from scratch. Instead, you should copy the content from the previous successful semester (e.g., Autumn 2025) into a new course shell.

This process ensures consistency across cohorts and saves significant setup time.

__TOC__

== 1. The Strategy: "Import" vs "Reset" ==
For our operations, we use the '''Import''' method.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Method
! Description
! Why we use it?
|-
| '''Import''' (Recommended)
| You create a blank course for the new students and "pull" content into it from an old course.
| ✅ Keeps cohorts separate (clean data). ✅ Preserves the old course as an archive. ✅ Safer (less risk of accidental data deletion).
|-
| '''Reset'''
| You delete all students and grades from the ''existing'' course and use the same URL for new students.
| ❌ Destroys historical data. ❌ Not recommended for our audit requirements.
|}

== 2. Prerequisite ==
Before you begin, ensure you have:
# '''The Source Course''': The "Gold Master" or the previous semester's course (e.g., "Academic English - Autumn 2025") which has the content you want.
# '''The Destination Course''': A newly created, empty course shell (e.g., "Academic English - Spring 2026").
#* ''See [[Ops: Creating New Courses]] for how to create the empty shell.''

== 3. Step-by-Step Import Process ==
Perform these steps inside the '''Destination Course''' (the new, empty one).

=== Step 1: Locate the Import Tool ===
# Go to the new course page.
# Click the '''More''' tab in the secondary navigation bar (under the course title).
# Select '''Course reuse''' from the dropdown.
# On the next screen, ensure the dropdown menu at the top left says '''Import'''.

=== Step 2: Select Source ===
# You will see a list of courses. Use the '''Search''' bar at the bottom to find the old course (e.g., search "English").
# Select the radio button next to the correct source course.
# Click '''Continue'''.

=== Step 3: Initial Settings (What to Copy) ===
Moodle asks what types of data to include.
* '''Include activities and resources''': '''YES''' (The actual content).
* '''Include blocks''': '''YES''' (Right-hand side menus).
* '''Include files''': '''YES'''.
* '''Include filters''': '''YES'''.
* '''Include calendar events''': '''NO''' (Unless you want old dates).
* '''Include groups and groupings''': '''NO''' (New students will need new groups).
* '''Include competencies''': '''No''' (Usually not used).
* Click '''Next'''.

=== Step 4: Schema Selection (Specific Items) ===
You will see a long list of every item in the old course.
* By default, everything is checked.
* **Review the list**: Uncheck specific items you don't want (e.g., "Announcements" from last year regarding a specific holiday, or an old "Midterm Feedback" survey).
* Click '''Next'''.

=== Step 5: Confirmation and Perform ===
* Review the summary page.
* Click '''Perform import'''.
* Wait for the progress bar (this may take a minute depending on file sizes).
* Click '''Continue''' to return to your new course.

== 4. Post-Import Checklist (Critical) ==
The content is copied, but it is not ready for students yet. You must perform these updates:

=== A. Update Dates ===
* Go to '''Settings''' and check the '''Course start date'''.
* Even though you imported the content, assignment deadlines remain in the past (e.g., 2024).
* You must manually edit every **Assignment** and **Quiz** to update:
** ''Allow submissions from''
** ''Due date''
** ''Cut-off date''

=== B. Clean Up "Announcements" ===
* The "Announcements" forum is automatically created in every new course.
* If you imported the old "Announcements" forum, you might now have **two** forums (one empty, one from the old course).
* Delete the duplicate one.
* Delete any specific welcome posts that mention the wrong year.

=== C. Update External Tools (LTI) ===
* If the course uses **Zoom**, **Turnitin**, or **Panopto** links:
* Click on each link to ensure it establishes a fresh connection for the new semester.
* Sometimes copying breaks the link between Moodle and the external tool.

=== D. Update Course Guide / Syllabus ===
* Check the "Course Guide" page or PDF.
* Ensure it doesn't say "Welcome to the class of 2025!".

== 5. Troubleshooting ==
* '''"The course is too big to import"''': If the import times out, check if the source course has massive video files directly uploaded. Suggest to the teacher to move videos to a streaming server.
* '''"My quizzes are missing questions"''': This happens if you didn't include the "Question bank" in the import. Usually, Moodle handles this automatically, but ensure "Include activities" was checked.

# Select the correct '''Category''' on the left (e.g., "Spring 2026").
# Click '''Create new course''' on the right side.

== 2. General Settings ==
This section contains the most critical metadata for the course.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Field
! Explanation
! 💡 Operational Recommendation
|-
| '''Course full name'''
| The title displayed at the top of the course and in lists.
| Use a standard format: ''[Code] Subject Name - Intake'' (e.g., "BUS101 Business Management - Spring 2026")
|-
| '''Course short name'''
| A unique identifier used in the navigation bar (breadcrumbs) and email subject lines. '''Must be unique''' across the entire system.
| Use a code without spaces. (e.g., `BUS101_S26`)
|-
| '''Course category'''
| Where the course is filed.
| Double-check this is correct so students can find it.
|-
| '''Course visibility'''
| • '''Show''': Students can access it (if enrolled). • '''Hide''': Only staff can see it.
| Set to '''Hide''' while you are building the course. Switch to '''Show''' on launch day.
|-
| '''Course start date'''
| Determines when the course appears in the "In Progress" tab on the Dashboard. Also marks the start of the Log files.
| Set to the actual first day of class.
|-
| '''Course end date'''
| Determines when the course moves to the "Past" tab on the Dashboard. ''Note: This does NOT kick students out. They can still enter the course.''
| Set to the exam date or semester end date. Enable this to keep student dashboards clean.
|}

== 3. Description ==
This info appears on the Dashboard card and the course list.

* '''Course summary''': A brief paragraph explaining what the course is about.
* '''Course image''': High Importance. This is the tile image shown on the Student Dashboard.
** '''Requirement''': Use a high-quality JPG/PNG (approx. 800x400 pixels).
** '''Design Tip''': Avoid text-heavy images. Use abstract patterns or subject-related photos (e.g., a calculator for Math).

== 4. Course Format ==
This setting controls the layout and user experience inside the course.

=== Format Options ===
* '''Topics format''' (Recommended): The course is divided into thematic sections (Topic 1, Topic 2, etc.). Best for most academic modules.
* '''Weekly format''': The course is divided by weeks, with dates automatically labeled. Best if the course structure is strictly timeline-based.
* '''Single activity format''': The course is just one big quiz or SCORM package. (Rarely used).
* '''Social format''': A big forum page. (Rarely used).

=== Layout Settings ===
* '''Hidden sections''':
** ''Hidden sections are shown in collapsed form'': Students see the topic title but can't open it (Good for "Coming Soon").
** ''Hidden sections are completely invisible'': Students don't see the topic at all (Cleaner).
* '''Course layout''':
** ''Show all sections on one page'': Traditional scroll.
** ''Show one section per page'': Reduces scrolling, students click "Next" to move between topics. '''Recommended for long courses.'''

== 5. Appearance ==
* '''Force language''': Leave as "Do not force" unless it is a language course (e.g., forcing French interface for a French class).
* '''Number of announcements''': Controls how many recent news items show in the "Latest announcements" block. Default (5) is usually fine.
* '''Show gradebook to students''': '''Yes'''. Students need to see their marks.
* '''Show activity reports''': '''No'''. This generates a lot of data and is rarely useful for students.

== 6. Files and Uploads ==
* '''Maximum upload size''': This limits the file size for '''both''' teachers (uploading materials) and students (uploading homework).
* '''Recommendation''': Set to the Site Limit (usually 50MB or 100MB).
* ''Note: If a student needs to submit a huge video file, do not increase this limit. Ask them to upload to OneDrive/Google Drive and submit the link instead.''

== 7. Completion Tracking ==
* '''Enable completion tracking''': '''Yes'''.
* This enables the "Mark as done" buttons and progress percentages. It is essential for a modern LMS experience.

== 8. Groups (Optional) ==
Only configure this if you have multiple cohorts (e.g., Class A and Class B) in the '''same''' course shell.

* '''Group mode''':
** ''No groups'': Everyone is together. (Standard).
** ''Separate groups'': Students in Group A cannot see Group B's work (e.g., forum posts).
** ''Visible groups'': Students work in their own group but can see what other groups are doing.
* '''Force group mode''': If set to Yes, this applies the group setting to every activity (Assignment, Forum, Quiz) automatically.

== 9. Role Renaming (Optional) ==
You can change the displayed label for roles in this specific course.
* ''Example'': Change "Teacher" to "Professor" or "Instructor".
* ''Example'': Change "Non-editing teacher" to "Tutor".
* This only changes the word shown to users; permissions remain the same.

== 10. Tags ==
Add keywords (e.g., "Business", "Level 1", "Fall") to help with searching if you have hundreds of courses.

Course Categories are the folders used to organize your Moodle site. Just as you wouldn't throw 500 files onto your computer desktop, you shouldn't put all courses in one list.

Proper categorization ensures that students can easily find their classes and helps the operations team archive old semesters efficiently.

__TOC__

== 1. Recommended Structure (Hierarchy) ==
For a Pre-Master educational institution, we recommend a time-based hierarchy. This keeps current courses visible and old courses accessible but tucked away.

'''Example Tree Structure:'''
* 📂 '''2025-2026 Academic Year''' (Top Level)
** 📂 '''Spring Intake 2026''' (Sub-category)
*** 📘 Business Management
*** 📘 Academic English
** 📂 '''Autumn Intake 2025''' (Sub-category)
*** 📘 Engineering Support
*** 📘 Research Methods
* 📂 '''Archive / Past Years'''
** 📂 2024-2025...

== 2. Accessing Category Management ==
All category operations happen in the central course management interface.

# Navigate to '''Site administration'''.
# Click the '''Courses''' tab.
# Click '''Manage courses and categories'''.

This screen is split into two columns:
* '''Left Column''': The list of '''Categories'''.
* '''Right Column''': The list of '''Courses''' inside the selected category.

== 3. Creating a New Category ==
=== Steps ===
# On the "Manage courses and categories" page, click '''Create new category''' (usually a link at the top or bottom of the left column).
# Configure the settings:
#* '''Parent category''':
#** Choose '''Top''' if this is a main container (e.g., "2026 Academic Year").
#** Choose an existing category (e.g., "2026 Academic Year") if you are creating a sub-folder (e.g., "Spring Semester").
#* '''Category name''': Keep it short and clear (e.g., "Spring 2026").
#* '''Category ID number''': (Optional) Useful for external reporting, otherwise leave blank.
#* '''Description''': (Optional) Visible to students when they browse.
# Click '''Create category'''.

== 4. Moving and Sorting Categories ==
As semesters progress, you may need to move "Spring 2026" into an "Archive" folder or reorder the list.

=== Sorting (Reordering) ===
On the main management screen, use the '''Arrow icons (↑↓)''' next to a category name to move it up or down the list.
* '''Tip''': Keep the "Current Semester" at the very top of the list so it is the first thing students see on the homepage.

=== Moving a Category (Change Parent) ===
If you created a category in the wrong place:
# Click the '''Gear icon ⚙️''' next to the category name.
# Select '''Edit'''.
# Change the '''Parent category''' dropdown to the correct location.
# Click '''Save changes'''.

== 5. Hiding Categories (Archiving) ==
When a semester ends, you should '''Hide''' the category. This removes it from the student's visible menu but preserves all data.

# Go to '''Manage courses and categories'''.
# Find the category you want to hide (e.g., "Autumn 2024").
# Click the '''Eye icon 👁️''' next to the category name.
#* '''Open Eye''': Visible to students.
#* '''Crossed-out Eye''': Hidden from students (Greyed out).

<blockquote style="background-color:#e2e3e5; border-left:4px solid #383d41; padding:10px;">
'''Note:''' When you hide a Category, ALL courses inside it are automatically hidden from the course catalog. However, students who are already enrolled can usually still access their past courses via their Dashboard timeline, depending on site settings.
</blockquote>

== 6. Best Practices ==
* '''Don't go too deep''': Try to keep sub-categories to a maximum of 3 levels (Year -> Semester -> Subject). Deep folders make it hard for users to navigate.
* '''Use "Misc" temporarily''': Moodle creates a default category called "Miscellaneous". Use this for testing or draft courses, but hide it from students.
* '''Archive annually''': At the end of the academic year, move the entire Year folder into a top-level "Archive" category to keep the site fresh.

Assigning instructional staff to courses is a critical operational task. Moodle provides two distinct roles for teaching staff. Choosing the right role ensures that staff have the tools they need without risking accidental deletion of course content.

__TOC__

== 1. Understanding Roles: Teacher vs. TA ==
Before assigning a user, you must decide on their level of access.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Role
! Moodle Term
! Capabilities
! Best Used For...
|-
| '''Lead Teacher'''
| Teacher
| • '''Edit Content''': Can add/delete assignments, quizzes, and files. • '''Grade''': Can grade students. • '''Settings''': Can change course settings and enrolment keys. • '''Enrol''': Can add other users.
| • The Professor or Instructor creating the course. • Curriculum designers. • Head Tutors who need full control.
|-
| '''Teaching Assistant (TA)'''
| Non-editing teacher
| • '''Grade Only''': Can view submissions and enter grades. • '''Interact''': Can post in forums and reply to students. • Restricted: Cannot delete materials or change course layout.
| • Tutors responsible for marking. • Guest lecturers. • Administrative observers.
|}

<blockquote style="background-color:#fff3cd; border-left:4px solid #ffc107; padding:10px;">
'''⚠️ Important:''' If you are unsure, always start by assigning the '''Non-editing teacher''' role. It is safer because they cannot accidentally delete course materials.
</blockquote>

== 2. How to Assign Teachers/TAs ==
You assign staff using the same interface as student enrolment, but with a different role selection.

# Navigate to the specific course.
# Click the '''Participants''' tab.
# Click the '''Enrol users''' button.
# '''Select users''': Search for the staff member's name or email.
# '''Assign role''':
#* Select '''Teacher''' for full access.
#* Select '''Non-editing teacher''' for TAs.
# Click '''Enrol users'''.

== 3. Changing a Role (Promotion/Demotion) ==
If a TA needs to become a full Teacher (or vice versa), you do not need to remove them. You can edit their role in place.

# Go to the '''Participants''' list.
# Find the staff member.
# In the '''Roles''' column, click the '''Pencil icon ✎'''.
# '''To Add a Role''': Click the dropdown arrow and select the new role (e.g., adding "Teacher").
# '''To Remove a Role''': Click the '''X''' next to the old role (e.g., removing "Non-editing teacher").
#* ''Note: A user should usually have only one role, not both.''
# Click the '''Save icon 💾''' (Disk) next to the dropdown to confirm changes.

== 4. Common Scenarios ==

=== Scenario A: The "Content Designer" ===
* **Situation**: A staff member needs to upload files and set up quizzes but will not be teaching the students directly.
* **Action**: Assign as '''Teacher'''. They need editing rights to build the course.

=== Scenario B: The "Grader" ===
* **Situation**: A PhD student is hired to grade essays and answer forum questions.
* **Action**: Assign as '''Non-editing teacher'''. They do not need to alter the assignment settings or due dates.

=== Scenario C: The "Observer" ===
* **Situation**: A manager wants to check if the course is running smoothly but shouldn't touch anything.
* **Action**: Assign as '''Non-editing teacher'''. This gives them visibility into hidden items and grades without the risk of breaking the course.

Enrolment is the process of linking a user to a specific course. Moodle offers multiple ways to handle this. For operational efficiency, we typically use '''Manual Enrolment''' for staff/teachers and '''Self-Enrolment''' for student cohorts.

__TOC__

== 1. Accessing Enrolment Management ==
To manage who can access a specific course, you must be inside that course.

# Navigate to the specific course.
# Click the '''Participants''' tab in the secondary navigation bar (under the course title).
# From the dropdown menu on the left (usually labeled "Participants"), select '''Enrolment methods'''.

== 2. Which Method to Use? ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Method
! Best For...
! Pros & Cons
|-
| '''Manual Enrolment'''
| Teachers, TAs, or small groups of students (e.g., late joiners).
| ✅ '''Precise''': You control exactly who gets in. ❌ '''Slow''': Requires adding users one by one or searching for them.
|-
| '''Self-Enrolment'''
| The main student body (e.g., 50+ students).
| ✅ '''Efficient''': Students join by themselves using a password. ❌ '''Security''': Requires sharing a password securely.
|}

== 3. Method A: Manual Enrolment ==
This is the default method. You search for a user in the system and add them to the course.

=== Steps to Enrol a User ===
# Go to the course and click the '''Participants''' tab.
# Click the '''Enrol users''' button (top right).
# In the pop-up window:
#* '''Select users''': Search by name or email. You can select multiple users at once.
#* '''Assign role''':
#** Select '''Student''' for learners.
#** Select '''Non-editing teacher''' for TAs/Tutors.
#** Select '''Teacher''' for the lead instructor.
#* '''Show more...''': (Optional) Set an enrolment duration if access should expire automatically.
# Click '''Enrol users''' to finish.

== 4. Method B: Self-Enrolment (with Keys) ==
This method allows students to enrol themselves into the course by entering a simplified password known as an '''Enrolment Key'''. This is the standard procedure for starting a new semester.

=== Step 1: Enable Self-Enrolment ===
# Go to '''Participants''' → Select '''Enrolment methods''' from the dropdown.
# Look for "Self enrolement (Student)".
# If the eye icon is closed (crossed out), click it to '''Enable''' (open eye).

=== Step 2: Configure the Key ===
# Click the '''Gear icon ⚙️''' (Edit) next to "Self enrolment".
# Configure the following settings:
#* '''Custom instance name''': Give it a clear name, e.g., "Student Entry 2026".
#* '''Allow existing enrolments''': Yes.
#* '''Allow new enrolments''': Yes.
#* '''Enrolment key''': CRITICAL. Enter a secure password (e.g., `PreMaster2026!`).
#** ''Click the pencil/eye icon to reveal and check what you typed.''
#** ''This is the key you will give to students.''
#* '''Use group enrolment keys''': No (unless you are using advanced group sorting).
#* '''Default assigned role''': Ensure this is set to '''Student'''.
#* '''Enrolment duration''': (Optional) E.g., 365 days.
#* '''Notify before enrolment expires''': No.
# Click '''Save changes'''.

=== Step 3: Student Instructions ===
Once set up, send the following instructions to your students:
<blockquote style="background-color:#f9f9f9; padding:10px; border-left:4px solid #007bff;">
"Please log in to Moodle, find the course '''[Course Name]''', and when prompted, enter the Enrolment Key: '''[Your Key]'''."
</blockquote>

== 5. Managing Participants (Unenrolling & Editing) ==
Daily maintenance of course members.

=== Editing Roles ===
If you accidentally added a Teacher as a Student:
# Go to the '''Participants''' list.
# Find the user.
# In the '''Roles''' column, click the '''Pencil icon ✎'''.
# Click the 'X' to remove "Student".
# Type or select "Teacher" from the dropdown.
# Click the '''Save icon 💾''' (Disk) to confirm.

=== Removing (Unenrolling) a User ===
If a student drops the class or was added by mistake:
# Go to the '''Participants''' list.
# Find the user.
# Click the '''Trash can icon 🗑️''' in the Status column.
# Confirm by clicking '''Unenrol'''.
# ''Note: This removes their grades from the gradebook view, but data is usually preserved in history if they are re-enrolled later.''

User management is the foundation of academic operations. This guide covers the complete lifecycle of a user account: creating accounts manually, importing students in bulk, maintaining credentials, and suspending accounts when a student leaves the program.

__TOC__

== 1. Accessing User Management ==
All user management tasks are performed in the '''Site administration''' area.
* Navigate to: '''Site administration''' tab → '''Users''' tab → '''Accounts''' section.

== 2. Creating a Single User (Manual) ==
Use this method for adding individual staff members, teachers, or late-enrolling students.

# Go to '''Site administration''' → '''Users''' → '''Accounts''' → '''Add a new user'''.
# Fill in the '''General''' fields:
#* '''Username''': Must be lowercase letters only. (e.g., `john.doe`).
#* '''Authentication method''': Leave as "Manual accounts".
#* '''Suspended account''': Ensure this is unchecked.
#* '''Generate password and notify user''': Recommended. Check this box so Moodle emails the login details to the user automatically. This saves you from creating and sending passwords manually.
# Fill in the '''User details''':
#* '''First name''' & '''Last name''': Required.
#* '''Email address''': Required. Ensure this is accurate, as the password reset email will be sent here.
# Click '''Create user''' at the bottom of the page.

== 3. Bulk User Creation (CSV Upload) ==
For new cohorts or large intakes, use the "Upload users" feature to create hundreds of accounts at once.

=== Step 1: Prepare the CSV File ===
Create a spreadsheet (Excel) and save it as a '''.csv (Comma delimited)''' file. The first row must contain the column headers.

'''Required headers:'''
username,firstname,lastname,email

'''Example Data:'''
username,firstname,lastname,email

=== Step 2: Upload Process ===
# Go to '''Site administration''' → '''Users''' → '''Accounts''' → '''Upload users'''.
# Drag and drop your .csv file into the '''File''' area.
# Click '''Upload users'''.
# '''Preview Page''': Moodle will show a preview of the users.
#* '''Upload type''': Select "Add new only, skip existing users" (safest option).
#* '''New user password''': Select "Create password if needed and send via email". This ensures students receive their credentials immediately.
# Click '''Upload users''' again to confirm.
# Review the results page to ensure there were no errors.

== 4. Password Management ==
"I forgot my password" is the most common support request.

=== Method A: The "Force" Reset (Operational) ===
If a user cannot use the "Forgotten your password?" link on the login page, you can reset it manually:
# Go to '''Browse list of users'''.
# Search for the user by name or email.
# Click the '''Gear icon ⚙️''' (Edit) next to their name.
# Scroll to the '''New password''' field.
# Type a temporary password (e.g., `ChangeMe123!`).
# Check the box '''Force password change'''. This requires the user to set their own secure password immediately upon logging in.
# Scroll down and click '''Update profile'''.
# Communicate the temporary password to the user securely.

== 5. Suspending Users (Withdrawals) ==
When a student withdraws, pauses their studies, or graduates, you should '''Suspend''' their account rather than delete it.

! When to use
|-
| '''Suspend (Recommended)'''
| User cannot login. All grades, assignment submissions, and logs are '''preserved'''.
| Student drops out, payment issues, or course completion.
|-
| '''Delete (Dangerous)'''
| User is removed. All operational data (grades, logs) associated with this user may be '''permanently lost'''.
| Only for spam accounts or erroneous duplicates.
|}

=== How to Suspend a User ===
# Go to '''Browse list of users'''.
# Find the user and click the '''Gear icon ⚙️''' (Edit).
# In the '''General''' section, find the '''Suspended account''' checkbox.
# '''Check''' the box.
# Click '''Update profile'''.

The user can no longer log in, but their history remains in the system for reporting purposes. To reactivate them, simply uncheck the box.

== 6. Searching and Filtering ==
To manage a large student body, use the advanced filters.
# Go to '''Browse list of users'''.
# Click '''Show more''' in the "New filter" section.
# You can filter by:
#* '''Email address''': Useful if you only have their email.
#* '''Suspended account''': Select "Yes" to see all inactive students.
#* '''Last access''': Useful to identify "At-Risk" students who haven't logged in for a while (e.g., "before 30 days ago").
