Course set up Grades

A course is a space on a Moodle site where teachers can add learning materials for their Tracking progress
students. A teacher may have more than one course and a course may include more Reusing activities
than one teacher and more than one group of learners. See the screencast What is a
course? or if your course looks di"erent, watch this alternative screencast .

By default a regular teacher can't add a new course. See Adding a new course for
information on how courses may be created.

Example of a Moodle course using the Boost theme

Example of a Moodle course with a Navigation block and Administration block

A course can display its materials in a number of ways or 'formats', for example in
weekly sections or named topic sections. You can show all the sections at once or just
reveal one at a time. See Course settings for more information, or watch the screencast
How to lay out a course . If your course looks di"erent, watch this alternative
screencast .

Course sections may be renamed by turning on the editing and clicking the
con!guration icon underneath the section name. Sections may also be moved by drag
and drop and sections added or removed by clicking the + or - underneath the bottom
section. See Course homepage for more information.

You can also add elements, known as 'blocks', to the right, left or both sides of your
central learning area, depending on your theme. For more information see Blocks.
Remember that blocks will not display in the Moodle Mobile app so, think carefully
about which blocks you really need.

Course enrolment
Before a learner can access your course, they must !rst be authenticated on the site
and that is the responsibility of the site administrator.

Enrolment methods

There are several enrolment methods available to a teacher, what is available, again,
depends on the site administrator. The admin might enrol students into course
automatically, or the teacher might be able to let students enrol themselves. Depending
on the theme used, this can be done either by clicking the gear menu in the nav drawer
link Participants or by clicking Enrolled users from the Users link in the Course
administration block. This is the Manual enrolment method. Other options can be
seen in the Enrolment methods link and include Self enrolment and Guest access.

Note: Guests can only view the course and its resources; they cannot
participate in any activities.

An enrolment key may be set if Self enrolment is enabled so that only students with the
key can enter. The screencast Enrolling learners gives more information on course
enrolment. If your course looks di"erent, watch this earlier screencast on Enrolling
learners .

Grading
Every course has its own Gradebook which can record scores from assignments ,
quizzes , peer assessment workshops, 'branching' lessons, SCORM activities and LTI
learning resources.

The grader report

Other activities such as forums, databases and glossaries can have ratings enabled
which will also then be re#ected in the gradebook.

Grade items can be manually created from Course administration > Grades > Set up >
Categories and items and it is also possible to import and export grades.

Tracking progress
If completion tracking has been enabled for the site and in Course administration > Edit
settings, you can then set completion conditions in activity settings. A checkbox will
appear next to the activity and a student may either be allowed to tick it manually, or a
tick will display once criteria for that particular activity have been met. This feature can
be combined with Course completion so that when certain activities have been
completed and/or grades obtained, the course itself is marked complete.

Completion boxes

Badges can also be issued, manually or based on completion criteria to act as a


motivator and record of course progress.

Restricting access
A course can be set to display everything to everyone all the time, or it can be very
restrictive, displaying certain items at certain times, to certain groups or based on
performance in previous tasks.

Options for restricting access

Course items and sections may be manually hidden using the 'hide' icon when the
editing is turned on. If Restrict access has been enabled by the administrator then a
Restrict access section will display in each course activity and resource, allowing you to
choose how and when this item will be revealed, and whether to hide it completely or
show it greyed out with the conditions for access.
