{{Managing a Moodle course}}

A'' course'' in Moodle is an area where a teacher will add [[Resources|resources]] and [[Activities|activities]] for their students to complete. It might be a simple page with downloadable documents or it might be a complex set of tasks where learning progresses through interaction. See the screencast [http://youtu.be/iOyLq0B-rz0 What is a course in Moodle?] for an example. 

The course page is made up of central sections which contain the tasks and (if desired) [[Blocks|blocks]] to the side. The course teacher has control over the layout of the [[Course homepage|course homepage]] and can change it at any time. Progress can be  [[Tracking progress|tracked]] in a number of ways.

Students can be [[Course enrolment|enrolled]] manually by the teacher, automatically by the administrator, or they can be  allowed to enroll themselves. Students can also be added to [[Grouping users|groups]] if they need to be separated from  classes sharing the same course or if tasks need to be differentiated.
