 How can I create a course on my Moodle site? When you log into your site as an administrator, you can add a new course by clicking Site Administration, Courses, Add a new course. As administrator or other person allowed to create a course, such as someone you give the manager role to, you can also add a new course from the Three Dots in the My Courses page. Note that once you've added a course and added a teacher to it, they can edit these settings by default. You need a full name and a short name. You can select the category as administrator, decide whether to show the course yet or not. You might want to hide it while it's being worked on, and you can add a start and end date. Student access is controlled by enrolment dates, however, not course dates. The course summary and images are shown on a course participant's My Courses page, and, depending on your settings, also on the front page list of courses. If we click Course Format, this is where we can choose how we'd like the resources to be displayed. Topics gives us numbered topic sections. Here we can also select to have weekly format where the sections are named as weeks. Social format is basically one big message board for discussions, and single activity format would allow you to add just one particular item, such as a scorn package or a quiz. Appearance will allow you to decide how many news items you want to show in the announcements forum. If you set this to zero, you can then delete the announcements forum if you don't think it will be useful to you in the course. Options can be explored by clicking on them and expanding them. So, for instance, if we click on Expand Role Renaming, if you don't want to call your students students, but you want a different name, Learners, for instance, then you can change the name here and it will appear just in your course. You can also tag your course to help new students search for it. To summarise, a new course may be added from Site Administration, Courses, Add a new course, or from the My Courses page of those with permission to create courses.
