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

Ensure your Moodle site is registered (via Registration in the Site administration)
In 'Advanced features' enable course sharing (new in 3.7)

Sharing a course for download

First page of the backup process

Go to Course administration > Share (only available to users with the capability moodle/course:publish)
Click the button 'Share this course for people to download'
Enter information about the course
Click the 'Upload this course' button
Select the data to be included in the backup
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

You can display a link to your course on Moodle.net.

Go to Course administration > Share (only available to users with the capability moodle/course:publish)
Click the button 'Share this course for people to join'
Enter information about the course
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.

Moodle.net listing

You can check whether your course has been approved and is listed on Moodle.net as follows:

Go to Course administration > Share
Click the 'Check it now' link in the listing column

Your Moodle site will contact Moodle.net and will then update the status of your course.

Removing a course from Moodle.net

If you wish, you can remove your course from Moodle.net at any time.

Go to Course administration > Share
Click the 'Remove from Moodle.net' button in the actions column

Capabilities

Only users with the capability moodle/course:publish (by default only users with the role of manager) can share courses on Moodle.net. The capability moodle/backup:backuptargethub is also required for sharing courses for download.

Enabling teachers to share their courses

Click the edit icon opposite the teacher role
On the editing role page, paste moodle/course:publish into the filter box
Tick the checkbox opposite moodle/course:publish to allow the capability
