Moodle course participants

Registered students

  • All students registered for your course are automatically added to your Moodle course page. The list of Moodle course participants is synched with the Registrar's records.
  • If a student adds your course after the start of the semester, they will automatically be added to your Moodle course page after they are officially enrolled in the course. If you need to give a student immediate access to your Moodle course page, please contact us at moodle@reed.edu.

Other course participants

  • Contact us at moodle@reed.edu to request that other participants be added to your Moodle course page. We are able provide various levels of access to other participants. Commonly requested access includes
    • Member access, identical to student access, for course tutors, Student Teaching Consultants, etc.
    • Host access, identical to teacher access, for other faculty involved in your course.
    • Grader access, which allows the user to access student submissions but not to edit course content, for student graders.
    • Content creator access, which allows the user to edit course content but not access student information, for staff or student employees who will help you manage your course page.
  • We can also add additional participants to other course systems, such as course email lists, course blogs, or course Shared Google Drives at your request.

Groups in Moodle

  • Moodle groups allow you to limit access to certain activities for a subset of students.
  • If you are teaching more than one section of a course but using a single Moodle course page, we can set up a Moodle group for each section of the course. Membership in these groups is automatically updated based on the Registrar’s records, but it can also be manually edited if needed. Please let us know in the Special Instructions area of the Moodle Request Form if you would like us to create groups based on sections in a combined course page.
  • To manage groups in Moodle, go to Participants in the course settings menu, and then choose Groups from the dropdown menu on the upper left.

Groups selected in the participants menu.

Restrict access by group

To restrict access to Moodle content to a specific group,

  • Go to Edit settings for content you would like restricted to a group, and select Restrict Access.
  • Select Add restriction and choose Group.
  • Select the group you would like to be able to access the content. All other students will not have access. If you would like to hide the content from students who are not members of the selected group, click on the eye icon.
  • Be sure to save your settings at the bottom of the settings page.
