How can I create a Moodle course for a class I am teaching?

Why can't my students see my Moodle course?
Click Edit Settings in the Course Administration block in your course and set Course Visibility to "Show" and click Save and display.
How do I change the course settings (appearance theme, course start date, etc.)?
Click Edit Settings in the Settings block in your course.
How can students sign up for a course?
A student need only navigate to the Moodle course's homepage to self-enroll.

Instructors can click Users >> Enrolled users in the Settings block to view course participants. Instructors can make the Moodle class roster accessible to students by adding the Participants block.
Can additional instructors be assigned to a Moodle course?
Yes. Send an email to inst-tech@lawrence.edu with the request.
How do I e-mail students from Moodle?
Posting a message to the News forum will generate an email to all of your Moodle participants.
How can content from previously taught courses be imported into a new course?
From the Settings block, select the Import link, choose the previously taught course and follow the on-screen directions.
How can I set custom time limits for individual students on Moodle quizzes?
In the Quiz administration block there is a link "User overrides." Click this link and you will be able to choose one or more users and change quiz times.
