The Course Administrator is responsible for content curation and participant enrollment in a course or series of courses.

How to Enroll Participants in Your Course

To enroll participants in your course, go to the Administration block on the right hand side of the page and click on "Users" in the "Course administration" drop down menu . If "Users" is not visible, you may have to expand the "Course administration" menu by clicking "Course administration".

Once you have clicked "Users", select "Enrolled users" right below. Once on the "Enrolled users" page, click "Enroll users", on the upper right part of the screen.

Clicking "Enroll users" brings up a pop-up menu with a list of Moodle users that can be enrolled in the course. First, select the role that you would like assign to the newly enrolled participant. (In most cases, the user role should be "Participant") You may use the search bar to find a user by their name or e-mail address, and then click enroll next to their name to finish enrollment.

Once you are done enrolling users, click "Finish enrolling users" to complete the enrollment process.

How to set up assignments in your Moodle course

The most common activity you will be setting up is the assignment activity that allows YA staff members to upload and submit content to the course. This is a great feature and it will allow for easy tracking of affiliate reports and grant application and other submissions. To set up activities or resources for your Moodle course, turn editing on by clicking the "Turn editing on" button in the top right hand corner of the page. Then, under each section, there should be a link that says "Add an activity or resource". If you click one of these links, a pop up window will appear with a list of Activities and Resources that you can incorporate into your page. To read a full description of an activity or resource, click the corresponding icon once. When you have decided on the activity/resource you would like to add, make sure that it is selected and click add, or double click the corresponding icon.

Follow the prompts that appear next to finish set up of your activity and then click "Save and return to course" to view the new activity in your course.
