Ways of sharing a course

When you share a course, you can choose whether to make it available

  • for download (as a course backup file) OR
  • to enrol in on your site

Connecting to Moodle.net

An administrator first needs to check in 'Site Administration > Registration that your Moodle site is registered.

Sharing a course for download

First page of the backup process
  1. Go to Course administration > Share (only available to users with the capability moodle/course:publish)
  2. Click the button 'Share this course for people to download'
  3. Enter information about the course
  4. Click the 'Upload this course' button
  5. Select the data to be included in the backup
  6. Create the course backup

The course will then need to be approved by the Moodle.net administrator before it appears in the course listing.

Updating a course backup

If you improve the course and wish to update the course backup, firstly remove it from the hub, then re-share it. You may also share different versions of the same course.

Sharing a course for people to enrol in

  4. Click the 'Share this course' button

The course will then need to be approved by the Moodle.net administrator before it appears in the course listing.

You can change the information about the course by clicking the 'Update' button in the actions column.

Note: You also need to make sure that users can actually enrol in the course you have just published. This normally means having email-based self-registration enabled for the site and enabling self-enrolment for the course.
