Welcome. This template will help you create a Moodle course more quickly than selecting activities by navigating through web pages.
INSTRUCTIONS
Input course data/activities on the first two sheets.Customize settings and due dates on other sheets - DO NOT change the sheet names, rearrange the tables, or edit grayed areas.
Select the menu Data > My Data Format > moodle.xml OR append .moodle.xml to this page's URL.
Save the resulting page as moodle.xml
Compress moodle.xml as a .zip file (once zipped it can be renamed something sensible like M101.zip)
Upload your zipped file to your Moodle filespace or email it to an administrator.
In a Moodle course, click the restore option, select your uploaded file, and use it to create a new course. If you can't find the menu, ask an administrator to do it for you.
