Adding users manually to a course area
Users can be added 1) manually by the teachers, or students may 2) enrol themselves using the general course key or group keys. This chapter will guide you on how to add users manually.
On the My courses page, open up the course area you want to add users to. On the course area, select the Settings icon on the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Then click the title Users, which opens up more choices. Click on Enrolled users. This opens up a user administration page where you may see a list of all current participants and their roles on the course area. To add users, click the Enrol users-button.
A pop up window opens up. First choose the role you wish to enrol users with. The default is "opiskelija" (students), but if you are adding your colleagues as teachers onto the course area, remember to change the role into "vastuuopettaja" (editing teacher).
After choosing the correct role, type the name of the user you wish to add to the course area. You may search by the user's first name, last name or both. Then click Search.
The system searches for users and shows a list of all users with the name you searched for. If there are no search results, check the spelling. You may try with only a first name or only a last name. If there are still no results, the user probably does not exist in the Moodle database. If multiple results are found, choose the correct person and click Enrol.
You may continue adding more users by searching them and clicking Enrol. Once you are done with adding all the users, click Finish enrolling users and they will appear on the course participant list.
