• Use the filter function (Future / In Progress / Past courses).

• See ongoing events

In the Course room search you can enter module names or names of lecturers.

Courses are organized into course spaces (similar to folders). The path Navigation in Moodle is used for orientation. You can always see which course and course areas you are in.

You can Request a new course room . However, in some departments courses are created centrally (via the dean's office), please check there.

By default you will find a Forum “Announcements” in your course, in which only you have write access. Posts will be sent to registered students at their HS mail address.

Everything else you can design yourself, e.g.:

• Integrate zoom meetings
• Create text pages
• Upload files

To get an overview of all course participants, you can view the Participation list. You can add more participants or remove them.

In the Role “Teacher” you have the right to write and edit in your course.
Activate the button “Edit mode” in the upper right corner.

You can now:

• Edit the names of the sections.
• Design required Activities yourself.
• Upload Files, e.g. simply by drag & drop.
• Add sections / topics , Move them to other positions and Hide or Delete them.

In the Course settings you have different options. Here you can:

• Edit the Course name or the Course description. Note: The course section can only be changed by the Moodle team, feel free to Contact us .
• Enable / Disable course visibility.
• Start and end dates. Note: The dates only affect the filter in the dashboard, e.g. “Ongoing courses”. To control access to courses, see Self-enrollment.
• The Course description (short, please) and change the Course image.
• enable a Completion tracking so that students can see their progress in the course.

When your course is set up and ready to be presented, there are different options for Self-enrolment:

• Enable / Disable Self-enrollment
• Optional: Enrollment key (case sensitive)
• Optional: Define maximum number of participants

If you do not want to allow additional enrollments in your course, set the following in the settings:

• “Keep current self enrolments active”: Yes.
• “Allow new self enrolments”: No

There are two different types of Forums:

• The Announcements Forum, students cannot reply or unsubscribe.
• General Forum: If you set the Subscription to “Automatic”, all students are subscribed by default, but can unsubscribe themselves if they wish.

The Choice activity module enables the teacher to ask a single question and offer a selection of possible responses. Use the choice activity, if you want to assign topics or create a simple poll for course participants.

The assignment activity module enables a teacher to communicate tasks, collect work and provide grades and feedback.

• Set up an assignment
• Grade assignments
• Download all submissions
• Delete all submissions

Students can submit one or more files and see their submission status. Teachers can:

• See all submissions

Depending on your department, there may be special procedures, please contact your dean's office for more information. You can:

1. Reuse your course
