Learner Management 

Administration Block 

One of the selections in this block has already been discussed  in  the  Course  Management           

section of the manual (page 11). The remainder of the selections in this block are discussed 

here, including: 

     Turn editing on allows you to make changes to the course (e.g. add activities). 

     Settings allows you to change the look of your class (see page 11). 

     Teachers lists all the teachers for the course (typically just you, but could be more than 

that if the class were team taught). 

     Students lists all of the students in the class. You can manually enroll or unenroll a          

student from here. 

     Backup allows your class data to be backed up. 

     Restore allows you to restore old class data (that was backed up). 

     Scales allows you to define special scales for evaluation. These are made up of word 

evaluations (i.e., Excellent, Good, Average, etc.) 

     Grades lists the grades of the tests and quizzes of each enrolled student. 

     Logs shows you all of the activity in your class for a set amount of time. 

     Files allows you to upload files (e.g. graphics, Word, PP, Excel doc's etc.) into your 

course, for inclusion in an activity or layout. 

     Help brings up the Moodle abbreviated manual pages. 

     Teacher forum  is a teacher only discussion board. 

Teachers 

This  feature  lists  all  teachers         

(Fig. 62) in a course (typically just 

you). From here you can add a 

co teacher if you wish. To add 

another teacher to your class, 

click on the  Add teacher  button 

next to the name of the teacher 

you wish to add (or type in the 

Fig. 62 

teacher's name if there are too 

many users to show). 

Once you have added a teacher, you can set the  Order  of the teachers (for listing purposes   

1 is at the top, lower numbers are in numerical order on the list). If you wish, you can select 

 Hide  from the  Order  menu. This hides that teacher from the students (unless the teacher 

posts something in the class). This is useful if you want another teacher to audit the class with 

you. 

The last setting is the  Edit  menu. If this is set to  Yes,  the teacher can do anything a normal 

teacher can do (create assignments, grade, etc.). If this is set to  no,  the teacher has the         

access rights of a teacher (the teacher can go anywhere and see everything in a class), but the 

new teacher will not be able to change anything (no editing permissions). 

Students 

You can add or unenroll a student from your class manually from the Students property screen          

(Fig. 63). On the left are the students currently enrolled in the class, and on the right are the 

students that could be added to 

the class.
