Courses are automatically created for all courses in the calendar - you do not need to request a course be created on Moodle if it is already in the registry system.
When courses are uploaded from the registry to Moodle, they will be only course shells. This means they will have basic information about the course, term, and participants, but will not have any content uploaded or organized. This section of the guide will help you turn a course shell into a fully fledged course site. Once you have been added as a teacher to a course, you have the ability to start adding elements, editing the course structure, or importing an old course into the course shell.
If you are reusing a course, you can use this page for directions on how to import a course as well as make adjustments to uploaded course content. If you are building a course from scratch, or adding new elements, you can find more information on the "Adding Content" page
One of the easiest ways to set up a course is to re-use an old course. If the course is already on the King's Moodle site, then you can perform a course import from the site directly. To do this, go to the course shell for the course you want to update, and click on the "More" tab, and then select "Course Reuse"
Select a course to import data from. You can search for a specific course title at the bottom of the page
Once you've selected the course you would like to import, you will see a page that asks what you would like to import. Select what you would like to carry over and then follow the steps to complete the import.
If you are coming from another institution and are wanting to reuse a course, then there is sometimes the option to perform a course back up and course restore. This involves saving the course as a .mbz file on your computer, which can then be imported to the King's Moodle site.
This option is dependent on the compatibility of the old course format, as well as the policies of the other organization you are uploading the course from. Please ensure that importing a backup copy of a course is permitted by the organization you are importing from. For more information about this option, review the help guides below:
You can access the settings on your course page by clicking on the "Settings" tab located underneath the course title. The tabs below will detail the some of the settings that are useful in getting your course set up. Use the resources listed below for more information on course settings:
Most settings in the General menu are pre-set and should not be changed, including the course name, start date and end date, category and ID number. However, you should be aware of the course visibility settings. By default, courses are created to have their course visibility set to "Hide". This ensures that you are able to build your course without students being able to view it. However, once your course is ready and the term has started, you should set your course visibility to "Show" to ensure students have access. If none of your students can access the course, first go to the general settings to ensure that the course is visible. 
The course description allows you to add a brief description about your course as well as add a course photo. Please note that these elements do not appear anywhere on the course page itself.
Course format determines how the course is laid out and appears to participants. Courses on Moodle are automatically set to topics format, which shows the course page organized into an accordion menu of different topics. Topics can be open or closed by those in the course to make for easier viewing. The other common options for classes are as follows:
Completion tracking allows the instructor to set specific criteria in order for an activity to be complete. Enabling these settings allows students to see how far along they are in a course using the left-side navigation menu. It can also allow students to see the necessary requirements to mark activities or resources as complete.
