If you’re tasked with designing or managing a course in Moodle™, and feel like you’re trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions—you’re not alone. Many educators, trainers, and learning designers start their eLearning journey trying to figure out how to use Moodle effectively. That’s where Pukunui’s Moodle course creator training comes in. Designed with step-by-step clarity, this training helps you confidently create a course in Moodle from scratch—even if you’ve never logged into an LMS before.

What Makes This Course Creator Training Different

It’s not just about functionality; it’s about strategy—how to use Moodle in context, and build a course that actually engages learners and meets learning objectives.

• Two-Day Format: Our hands-on workshop is delivered over two days, each with five focused sessions.

Create a Course in Moodle with Confidence

Each participant starts the training by building their own Moodle™ course from the ground up—no templated demos, no boring slides. You’ll work through setup, navigation, and configuration as if it were your live classroom or corporate training.

By the end of the two-day training, you will:

• Assign user roles for administrators and learners
• Build quizzes, upload materials, and configure completion settings
• Create activities like forums, assignments, and feedback forms
• Use the gradebook like a pro (and not cry doing it)

Course-to-Moodle Workflow Explained

Here’s a simplified breakdown of the course creation process during the training:

1. Design your structure: modules, topics, or weeks?
2. Add course resources: upload files, embed videos, or integrate web links
3. Configure learner access: manage enrollments, permissions, and progress tracking
4. Set up interactive activities: build quizzes, discussions, and data collection tools
5. Test and QA: double-check navigation, accessibility, and logical flow

Understanding User Management in Moodle

An often-overlooked skill in course creator training is user management. We walk you through how to add, suspend, and group users, plus how to customise what each role can do. Good user management prevents chaos among your learners—and eliminates the 11pm “Why can’t I see the quiz?” emails.

Best Practices for Managing an Existing Course

Already have a Moodle™ course but feel like it’s missing something? Bring it to the session. We’ll cover how to update activities, reset course content, and integrate feedback from learners to improve engagement. You’ll also explore how to upload an existing course into a new instance of Moodle.

Tips for Creating a Better Quiz

• Choose the right question type—avoid true/false unless it’s absolutely foolproof
• Use randomisation to shuffle quiz questions for each learner
• Group questions by topic or difficulty level to reinforce learning outcomes
• Add feedback for wrong and right answers to guide improvement

Adding New Modules to Your Course in Moodle

Want to offer a bonus module mid-semester or publish new content for corporate staff without disrupting progress? You’ll learn how to manage hidden content, timed releases, and clean layout for seamless delivery.

The Role of a Course Creator in Moodle

A course creator is more than a content uploader. You’re responsible for structuring digital learning—in effect, you set the learner’s entire classroom experience. This training ensures that you approach course creation with strategy and clarity.

Key Takeaways

• Build learner-friendly, structured courses in Moodle™ software
• Use quizzes and gradebooks effectively (without needing a maths degree)
• Modify existing courses to freshen up training mid-cycle
• Control enrolments and permissions across learner cohorts

FAQs About Moodle course creator training

How to use Moodle to create a course?

Start by logging in with a course creator or administrator role, go to “Site administration,” and select “Courses > Add a new course.” From there, you can define course settings, add content like files or videos, and organise activities such as assignments or quizzes. Our training walks you through all of this step by step.

What is the role of course creator in Moodle?

A course creator in Moodle™ has permission to add new courses, assign teachers, and build content structures. Think of them as the architect of the learning experience, setting up everything the learner will see and interact with.

How to become a course creator?

If you’re already a teacher or admin, an existing site administrator can assign you the “Course Creator” role via the user settings. For individuals or organisations looking to train new creators, our program covers everything you need to start building and managing courses confidently.

How to create your own training course?

We recommend starting with clear learning outcomes, then using Moodle™ software’s structure to break content into modules. You’ll need to upload resources, design interaction (like discussions or quizzes), and make sure learners know how to navigate the course. Our training simplifies each step.
