Why can’t I see any students in my course?

Students won’t appear in the course until they have logged in to Moodle.
If the students are on SAMIS for the relevant unit they will automatically see the course as soon as they have filled in their profile, and they will then appear as participants.
If you wish to pre-populate your course with student data from SAMIS before the students have logged in you can use the “Course(SAMIS) Tools” block. (see attachment)

Why can I still see last semester’s students on my course?

Moodle checks data against SAMIS when a student logs in. So if the default automated system is used, last semester’s students will be removed from units they have finished as soon as they log in this semester, and new students will be added.

If you wish you can manually unenrol old students as follows:

• In the course administration menu click on “Students”.
• Select the students you wish to unenrol in the left hand (enrolled) column
  
• Click on the right pointing arrow to remove the students from the enrolled column.

Not all my students have logged in to Moodle yet, and I want to put them in groups. How can I do this?

You can use the Course (SAMIS) Tools block to add students to your course and put them in groups. See attachment for instructions.

How can I export a list of students in my course to Word or Excel?

• Go to the “Participants” list in the top left of your Moodle course.
• Scroll to the bottom of the list and select “Show all …”.
• Select all the participants, and copy them.
• In Excel select Edit - Paste special, and choose Text, then click on OK
• or in Word select Edit - Paste special, choose “Unformatted text” then click on OK
