Manually adding (enrolling) Students or Teachers into a Moodle course
Note: Users may only enrol another user in a "lesser" role. Therefore someone in a Teacher role cannot assign the Teacher role (or Non-Editing Teacher role) to another user. Someone in a Manager role, such as a department leader or assistant can do so.
To enroll someone into one of your courses,
- click on the Participants page link in the Navigation Drawer (on the left side of your course page)
- click on the [Enrol users] button, near the top-right of the Enrolled users page
- IMPORTANT: use the Assign roles drop-down menu to chose the type of role you are about to assign*
- in the search field, enter the name or portion of the name of the student or teacher and click on the [Search] button
- find the name in the users found list (If you don't find it, try typing in something else. If you still can't find the name, read Knowledgebase article KB1118 for a potential solution.
- IMPORTANT: If you see multiple instances of the same name, be sure to chose the correct one! If you see a teacher with a student email address (e.g., 000123456@student.vcc.ca), do NOT use that user. Look for the one with the employee email address (e.g, lastname@vcc.ca)
- click on the [Enrol] button, to the right of the correct name.
- continue to add any other users in this same way, and when you're finished, click on the [Finish enrolling users] button. You should then see the new name/s appear under the list of enrolled users.
