You can get a course area in Moodle by ordering it using the form in Moodle or by creating it directly from the SISU.

1. Log in to Moodle
2. Click My courses  at the top of the page
3. Course request form opens and you can fill in it and submit it.

You should enter the following information:

• Course full name: eg. "Jannes training course"
• Course short name: eg. "Jannes training course"
  
  • Short name must be unique
  • Short name appears in the path in the course area instead of the course name
• Course Category: Select which unit's course you want to create using the search box. For example, if you want to try out the features of Moodle and create a training area, search for sandbox and select Sandbox.
• Summary: course description (shown in search results for other users)
  
  
• Reasons for wanting this course
  • Briefly justify the use of the course area. Training areas are perfectly permissible and desirable, so that’s enough to justify it.

 

• After entering the information, click the Request a course button at the bottom of the page.

Maintain an approval form and justification and may accept or reject the course area order. Processing usually takes 1-2 business days.

Once your course area is approved, you will see the course area in Moodle after logging in and you will be a teacher with it.

If your order is rejected, you will be informed why the course area order has been rejected and you can follow the instructions provided.
