How to add Staff to a Module

QUICK GUIDE ADDING STAFF TO MOODLE COURSES

Follow these instructions for creating Moodle courses:
Step 1: Log in to Moodle Modules https://intranet.yorksj.ac.uk/moodlemodules/with your YSJ username and password.
Step 2: On the All Modules page (found on the top menu bar next to My Modules) you’ll find a long list of modules. Either scroll down the page, filter by the school/department on the left hand side, or use Ctrl+F on your keyboard to quickly find the module code you need to activate. Once you’ve located the module, click on the module code to get to the next screen.
Step 3: Activate the module in Moodle by:

Tick Select in the box next to the Module Instance Code that you wish to select

Moodle Modules now pulls through assigned tutors from SITS. A name should automatically appear under the Tutors section. If you are not listed, add yourself to in the Tutors field along with any other tutors that will be teaching on the course. To do so, simply add your YSJ username and a comma to separate the tutor names. For example: a.tutor, b.tutor1 Please note – DO NOT add administrative staff to the list of tutors. They have a different way of accessing modules in Moodle.
Click Save when you have added yourself and any additional tutors to the course. You can always return back at a later time to add additional tutors.

Only official credit bearing module codes will lead to courses automatically being generated in Moodle. If you wish to create a Moodle page with non-credit bearing courses, you can request a course from Moodle

It’s really that simple. This gives us the information needed to automatically create new courses in Moodle and to ensure that all your students are enrolled on them, ready for the 2025/26 academic year.

Please note: Moodle Modules syncs every hour and requires you to log out and back into Moodle to see the changes. If your modules are showing in the ‘My Modules’ page in Moodle Modules but not on your ‘Home’ page in Moodle itself, it may be that you need to wait for the systems to sync up before they appear.
