By default a regular teacher can't add a new course. To add a new course to Moodle you need to have either Adminstrator, Course Creator or Manager rights.
Adding a course
To add a course:
- Go to Settings>Site Administration>Courses>Add/edit courses
- Choose the category where you want your course to be. For more information see Course categories
- Click the "Add a new course" button
- Enter the course settings, then click the "Save changes" button.
- On the next screen, choose your students/teachers to assign to the course.

Course requests
The course request feature can be enabled by an administrator in Settings > Site administration > Courses > Course request.
The default category for new courses requested can be selected from this screen, and users who will be notified when courses are requested can also be selected here. (These are users with the capability moodle/site:approvecourse.)
In Moodle 2.4 onwards, the course request form can include the option to select a course category.
A button will then appear on the All courses page for users to request a new course. The All courses page can be accessed via a link in the Courses block.
By default, all authenticated users can make course requests (after you have enabled it). It is controlled by the capability moodle/course:request.
Bulk Course Create Options
As of Moodle 2.2, this is not an out of the box feature.

- This may or may not be of any use to people on this thread, but I create a basic course uploader for 2.x modelled on the user uploader, as I needed something for NZ schools - it's available here https://gitorious.org/moodle-tool_uploadcourse/moodle-tool_uploadcourse for the curious.
- Cheers,
