Course+Requests

Requesting a Course
New course set up is handled through Moodle’s course request feature.

Teachers may follow this direct link to the course request form (requires login): http://moodle.mcpss.com/course/request.php?

Or begin at the home page (moodle.mcpss.com) and, after logging in:
 * ======Click //All Courses// in the //My Courses// area of the left-side navigation bar; ======
 * ====== Click the //Course Request// button located at the bottom of the resulting //All Courses// page; ======
 * ====== Fill out and submit the course request form (instructions follow); ======
 * Repeat this process for any additional course requests.

Course Request Form
The Course Request Form has five components:


 * //Full Name// - This is the full name of the course and is displayed at the top of the screen and in the course listings.
 * //Short Name// - This is a shorthand way of referring to a course. //It must be unique among all courses in the system//, so consider adding your last name or other identifier to any standard abbreviation - such as "Bio1-Jones" or "Science 7 Lee". Add your school name if necessary (ZHS Economics - Smith). It will be used in several places where the long name isn't appropriate (such as in the navigational "crumb trail" at the top of your course pages). There is no specific length requirement, but try to keep your short name to 25 characters or less.
 * //Summary// - This is the short description of the course and displays in the course listings.
 * //Enrollment Key// - This is essentially a password for your students and helps keep unauthorized visitors out of your course. You create this key and provide it to you students who, in turn, use it to register for your course. There are no specific requirements for this key.
 * //Reasons for wanting this course// - This is required, but is used only for the course approval process and is not displayed on the site. A brief description of how you plan to use this course and a mention of any Moodle professional development you've attended would be helpful. **Please include your school, grade level or department, and your email address.**
