{{Course admin}}
A student is a MoodleSite participant who is enroled in a course. We will use the Moodle default term, but this [[Roles|participant role]] may be given another name in the course settings such as "Trainee". Major changes in both the course administration block and in role functionality took place in 1.7.

==Course enrolment administration==
The '''Assign roles''' link, in [[Course administration block|course administration block]], allows teachers to manually enrol and/or [[Unenrol|unenrol]] students independently of the global enrolment method. This can allow you, the teacher, to manually control your enrolments or to fine tune enrolments linked to external systems (e.g. MIS).

In [[Manage_roles#Enrolling_existing_students_in_a_course|1.7, enrollments]] are part of the role system found in the [[Course administration block|course administration block]]. The screens are similar to earlier versions.

===Manual enrol===
You will see two fields separated by two arrows (left/right). The left field lists enrolled students to your course and the right one contains the names of all potential students (i.e. students that the system already has registered). If the course is a [[Metacourses|metacourse]] then the page changes from listing/searching for students, to listing/searching for courses.

To add a student to the course, find their name in the field on the right, highlight it and click on the left-facing arrow, which will transfer the student to the left field (you can also type in the student’s name in the "Search" field if there are too many students to list).

=== Manual unenrol===
To unenrol a student from your course, you should repeat the above procedure but this time transferring the student from the left field to the right one (using the right-facing arrow). The student should move from the "Enrolled students" column to the "Potential students" column.

===Automatic student enrolments===
If internal enrolments are allowed (i.e. students can self-enrol) you will find a note saying that students themselves can enrol to your course. If you have set an enrolment key then giving them the enrolment key might spare you ever checking this page. Still, you can enrol/unenroll students manually without giving them the enrolment key.

learning objects

Odoardo: /* What are learning objects? */

== What are learning objects? ==

The broadest definition of learning objects seems to be, "any digital resource that can be reused to support learning."

http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CIE/AOP/LO_what.html

According to LOAZ, "There are many characteristics of learning objects, the common ones are: accessibility, interoperability, adaptability, reusability, durability, and granularity."

http://www.loaz.com/learning-objects/learning-object-characteristics.html

What role do learning objects play in Moodle? If we accept that any reusable, digital resource can be a learning object, almost any resource or activity we use in Moodle qualifies. After all, you can import and export resources and activities between courses pretty easily.

=== Creating Learning Objects with Moodle ===

Consider the book module. Perhaps you have created a Moodle book about the fall of the Berlin Wall for a history course you are teaching. If you permit a German instructor at your school to import that book into one of his or her courses, then your book has met the criteria of a learning object. It is digital, portable and reusable.

The same can be said of resources created with a glossary, a wiki, and other modules.

=== Uploading Learning Objects to Moodle ===

Is a PowerPoint presentation a learning object that we can upload and use in Moodle? It would seem so. The same can be said of a text document, an image, a self-contained web site, and any other digital teaching resource that you create. If it is reusable, it is probably a learning object. This would include the simplest annotated image and the most sophisticated interactive multimedia resource.

If you can upload a resource to your Moodle site and use it in more than one course, it is a learning object. Of course, if the learning object is already on the Web, you may choose to link to it. Think of a YouTube movie or a SlideShare presentation.

=== Additonal Learning Object Considerations ===

But what about metadata and SCORM? What about tracing student learning? And don't learning objects have to be housed in a searchable repository? These and other considerations are discussed by experts, but do not yet seem to have been resolved.
