Problem- I want teachers in a Moodle course to be able to add their own students rather than depend on a Moodle Administrator to do it. This is critical, especially in large districts where you can have a numerous student population.

Solution – Set Up a Building Level Teacher (or affectionately, a “BLT”)

MoodleFairy (MaryCooch) sent me this link where Jonathan Lewis shares several steps. I’ve included them–with slight modifications based on BudTheTeacher, MoodleFairy, and HVoran’s tweets–below with screenshots:

Step 1: Go to the Administration block to Users -> Permissions -> Define Roles

then, fill in the information for the new role….

Step 2: Change CREATE USERS and DELETE USERS to ALLOW

Step 3: Note Your New Role — Building Level Teacher– is Now Showing

After this, you can assign this new role to teachers you TRUST at the campus/building-level so that they can be responsible for managing users…of course, that will involve some professional development.

Finally, check out the Moodle Tip Roundup, Moodle Habitudes, and Moodle Mambo!
