Adding course categories

By default, there is only one Moodle category: Miscellaneous. While you are certainly free to put all your classes in the miscellaneous category, your users will find it easier to find their classes if they are organized in descriptive categories.

Most people organize their courses by department and college or by topic. Be sure to test your organizational scheme with a few users before entering a large number of courses.

Fortunately, adding categories is very simple:

  1. From the Site Administration block, click Courses then "Add/edit courses".
  2. You will then see the course categories page. At the top of the page is a text area and an "Add new category" button. Type the name of your new category in the text area and click the button.

You now have a new course category. Once you set up a few course categories, you are ready to create a course.

Course sub-categories may be created by adding a new course category then using the "move category to" drop-down menu to move the category inside another category. Similarly, sub-sub-categories etc. may be created.
