The title of my course has changed. How do I change it on Moodle?

How do students enroll in my Moodle course?

Each Moodle course is setup with an enrollment key. The key places students into separate "groups" to help sort students by class period.

At the high school, a student in Semester 1, Period 1 would use: sem1-1

Semester 1, Period 2 = sem1-2
Semester 1, Period 3 = sem1-3

At the middle school, students are organized by their core periods: core1

Core 2 = core2
Core 3 = core3

If your group enrollment key does not seem to be working, you can view your group settings by following the steps on this TIP Sheet.

How do I import resources from one Moodle course into another?

Note: You must have "teacher" access to the course page in order to import resources. If you are collaborating with another teacher, contact Shawn Brandt to request access privileges to a specific course page.

Go to your Moodle course page where you want to add content.
In the upper-right, click the gear icon, click the Import link
Select the Moodle course to import existing content (resources) from… click the Continue button
Backup settings… leave all options checked… click the Next button
At the top of the page, next to Select: click the None link (this will removed all check marks)
Click the Topic #/title that contains the resource you want to use… click the resource you want to import
Scroll to the bottom of the page… click the Next button
Scroll to the bottom of the page again… click the Perform import button
Note: Only click the button once. It may take several minutes to import the resource(s) you selected.
Click the Continue button

Note: The imported resource will now appear in the same Topic # that it was originally located. You may need to move/organize it to a new location on your course page.
