Who can enrol participants

If you are an Editing Teacher you can enrol others in your module up to Editing Teacher. If you have School Support role you can enrol anyone in your School or category.

Note: We do NOT recommend that you enrol students manually. Students will be enrolled on modules according to their registration in Campus Solutions. This link is dynamic so if students drop a module they will automatically be removed.  If you add students to your course manually then this dynamic link to the student record system is broken. This link will become vital when marks are passed between Moodle and Campus.

Enrolling users

As an Editing Teacher (or School Support) you can enrol someone on a module as a:

  • Student
  • Observer – like a student but cannot take part – useful for colleagues who want to look in on one another’s modules or for student to peek in when they are choosing modules
  • Teacher – can see material hidden from students and mark their work but not add or edit
  • Editor -  can add and amend and edit but not see student contributions or mark them
  • Editing teacher – staff are normally at this level – can add and edit material, view grades and student contributions and mark

To enrol someone in your course

To unenrol a staff member 

You may wish to remove a fellow staff member from your module, for example, if you are taking over a module and need to unenrol the previous convenor.

Under normal circumstances you should not remove students from modules as this happens automatically when the module is removed from their student record.  You are able to remove students from other modules, but please bear in mind that the student's contributions to activities, assignments and grades may be lost.
