How to create a course

There are several ways you as admin can create a course. The two most common are:

1. create a new, empty course
2. upload ("restore") an existing course from a different Moodle site.

Create a new empty course

1. Log in with your administrator account
2. From the left panel (the Navigation drawer) click Site administration
3. Click the Courses tab
4. Click Add a new course
5. Add your course details, using the icon for extra help
6. Click Save and display
7. Click Proceed to course content to add your teaching materials.

Upload an existing course

1. Make sure the course you want to upload (a course "backup") has the file ending .mbz. If not, it will not work.
2. Log in with your administrator account
3. From the left panel (the Navigation drawer) click "Site administration"
4. Click the "Courses" tab
5. Click "Restore course"
6. Drag in or upload your .mbz file into the space "Import a backup file"
7. Click "Restore" and on the next page, scroll down and click "Continue"
8. In the "Restore as a new course" section, click the button next to "Miscellaneous" OR click the button of the category where you want to upload your course and then press "Continue"
9. Click the Next button at the bottom of the next two pages
10. Click "Restore" on the final page. Your course will then display.
