Aggiungere un corso

Un Docente non può aggiungere un nuovo corso per impostazione predefinita. Per aggiungere un nuovo corso su Moodle bisogna avere il ruolo di Amministratore, Creatore di corsi o Manager. Per aggiungere un corso, da Amministrazione del sito cliccare su Corsi > Gestione corsi e categorie.

Click New course in the category page on the right

• Cliccare sulla categoria in cui si vuole creare il corso. Per maggiori informazioni consultare Categorie di corso.
• Cliccare sul link Crea corso.
• Inserire le impostazioni del corso quindi selezionare Salva e visualizza per tornare al corso oppure Salva per passare alla prossima schermata.

• Se si è selezionato "Salva e visualizza", scegliere gli Studenti e i Docenti da assegnare al corso.

Eliminare un corso

I Docenti non possono eliminare i corsi. I Manager (e gli utenti che dispongono del privilegio moodle/course:delete) lo possono fare, mentre i [[Ruolo Creatori di corsi|Creatori di corsi] possono eliminare i corsi da loro creati, ma solo entro 24 ore dalla creazione del corso. In tal modo, se un corso fosse creato per sbaglio, è possibile eliminarlo senza doverlo chiedere ad un Amministratore. Gli Amministratori possono eliminare i corsi in qualsiasi momento. Per eliminare un corso (come Amministratore o Manager):

1. Da Amministrazione del sito cliccare su Corsi > Gestione corsi e categorie.
2. Cliccare sulla categoria in cui si vuole eliminare il corso.
3. Cliccare sul link Elimina (icona a forma di cestino) accanto al nome del corso.

File:26coursedelete.png Deleting a course

You can delete multiple courses by:

• Creating a new (temporary) category. You can name it "To be deleted".
• Select and move the "About to be deleted" courses to that category ("To be deleted").
• Delete the category ("To be deleted") and choose "Delete ALL - cannot be undone".

There is no user interface for course creators to delete courses they have created; however they can do so by editing the URL of the course from http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/view.php?id=N to http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/delete.php?id=N (replacing 'view' with 'delete').

Sorting courses

Courses may be sorted by an admin or manager from Administration>Site administration>Courses>Manage courses and categories.

Courses may be sorted by ascending/descending and by time created.

Course requests

The course request feature can be enabled by an administrator in Administration > Site administration > Courses > Course request.

An admin can set the default category for course requests, whether users can select a category when requesting a course, and who can receive notification of course requests (from a list of users with the capability moodle/site:approvecourse).

A 'Request a new course' button will then appear on the 'All courses' page. The All courses page can be accessed via a link in the Courses block.

If course requests are enabled, by default all authenticated users can make course requests. See Course requester role for details of how to restrict users who can make course requests.

Bulk course creation

For full details on how to bulk create courses and use course templates, see Upload courses.

1. Go to Administration > Site Administration > Courses > Upload courses.
2. Upload a CSV file either by dragging and dropping or using the button to select from the File picker.
3. Select your import options and click Preview. If the settings are acceptable, click Upload.

Course templates

It is possible, from Administration>Site Administration>Courses>Upload courses to specify a course and settings to use as template for future courses.

Default blocks for new courses can also be configured in config.php.

Using an existing course as a template

First, create or locate on your Moodle the course you wish to use as a template and make a note of its shortname. A template course might for example have common headings or section summaries or policy agreements used throughout the site for consistency.

Note that only the content of the course will be restored; not its settings. Settings are added separately.

Method 1

• Create your csv file. See Upload courses for accepted fields.
• From the Site administration link, click Courses>Upload courses and add your file.
• Preview it and scroll down to 'Course process'. In the box 'Restore from this course after upload', add the shortname of your template course.
• If you are creating several courses using the same template and you wish them all to have the same settings, you can specify these in the Default course values.
• Upload your csv file.

Method 2

• All the settings and the chosen template course can be specified in the csv file you create. Use templatecourse as the field for your chosen template course, and use the course shortname. See Upload courses for full list of fields you can include.
• Here is an example of a csv file for restoring a course to be used as a template. It specifies for example the theme, language, enrolment method and alternative names for student and teacher.

shortname,fullname,category,newsitems,theme,lang,format,enrolment_1,enrolment_1_role,role_student,role_teacher,templatecourse Knit,Knitting,2,0,afterburner,fr,topics,manual,student,NewKnitter,MasterKnitter,OMT

• Go to Administration>Site administration>Courses>Upload courses and add your csv file.

Using a backup course as a template

It is possible during the process of creating courses with a csv file in Site administration>Administration>Courses>Upload courses to specify and upload a backup file to be used as a template.

• Create your csv file. See Upload courses for accepted fields.
• From Site administration>Administration>Courses>Upload courses, add your file.
• Preview it and scroll down to 'Course process'. In the box 'Restore from this file after upload', add the backup file you wish to use as the template.
• If you are creating several courses using the same template and you wish them all to have the same settings, you can specify these in the 'Default course values' section.
• Alternatively, you can specify the course settings (such as format, enrolment methods, language) in the csv file. This method is useful if you wish different courses using the same template to have different settings.
• Upload your csv file.
