 Moodle uses course categories to organize the courses available within the LMS. The category hierarchy allows administrators and trainers to ensure content is well managed and easily accessible. To navigate to course categories, select Site Administration, Courses, Manage Courses and Categories. All Moodle LMSs will have a default category called Miscellaneous. You can change the name of this category and add as many additional categories as you like. To add a new category, select Create New Category. You then have the option to select whether you would like your new category to be a part of an existing category or a new category of its own. I'd like this to be a new category of its own, so from the drop-down menu, I will select Top. You must then enter your category name. You can then add a course description, however this is optional. Once you're happy with the information you have provided, select Create Category. You can see our new category, Human Resources, is appearing under the course category menu. Let's create another category. Select Create New Category. This time I want to create a subcategory within the Human Resources category. So I'm going to leave the parent category as Human Resources and enter my category name. Once you're happy with the information you have entered, select Create Category. You can see now that I have created a subcategory under my new category of Human Resources. Now let's edit the existing miscellaneous category and change the name. To do so, from the Actions menu, select Edit. I'd like to change the name of this category to Sales. Once you're happy with the changes, again scroll down and select Save Changes. You can see my miscellaneous category is now named Sales. Now, if I have changed my mind and I've decided that I'd like to move my Sales category to another location, I can select my category and then choose where I'd like to have the category move to. I'm going to say that I'm going to move it under the Human Resources category and select Move. You now see that the Sales category is now sitting underneath my Human Resources category. Another quick way to create subcategories is from the Action menu. Select and Create New Subcategory. If for any reason you need to hide a category so that it is not available or searchable, you can do so by selecting the Eye icon. The category is now grayed out, indicating that no one is able to see it. To show the category, select the Eye icon again. The category is now blue, indicating that it is visible. From the screen, you are also able to assign users roles within categories. To do this, select the Action menu for the category you wish to assign a user a role within. Then select Assign Roles. Select the role you wish to assign. You can then select the user you wish to assign the role to from the potential users available on the right-hand screen. Select Add. The user has now been assigned the role. To delete a category, navigate to the Action menu for the category you wish to delete and select Delete. Confirm that you wish to delete the category by selecting Delete and Continue. The category is now deleted. Now that your course categories are set up, you are ready to begin adding courses.
