A new way to create a Moodle area and synchronize students from WebOodi

Posted on by LS

The teacher can now create a new Moodle area through the course pages. Students enrolled in WebOodi for this course will automatically be added to the Moodle area.

The creation takes place in the course page on the Moodle tab, through the button “Create a new Moodle course area”. The URL created for the Moodle area will be automatically added as a button to the course page. The course URL will be also visible in My Studies and My Teaching pages.

Students will be able to access the course area immediately after the area has been opened for students in Moodle. If changes are made for the participant list in WebOodi, it will automatically be updated to Moodle within two hours.

So the teacher does not have to

  •     add the students to the course
  •     open the self-registration and set an enrolment key

This function should not be used if the enrolment in the course is restricted in WebOodi. A new Moodle area can still be ordered by filling this form.
