How to get a course
IMPORTANT! When you first activate your account, your courses will not be assigned, automatically.
After you create an account on this Moodle installation, you need to contact the IT Portal and:
- state you want a course set up on KPU Share, and
- specify what you want the course called. (You can change it later yourself if needed.)
After it is created you will see it when next you log into your KPU Share account and can start adding content and students once they have self-registered.
To get an account on KPU Share:
- Go to https://share.moodle.kpu.ca.
- Click ‘ Create new account’.
- Follow the instructions and activate your account by using the confirmation link sent to your email address.
- Contact the T&L Commons to have a course assigned to you, including in the email the name you would like the course called.
- Give students instructions on how to register and activate their accounts.
- As students activate their accounts you can manually add them to your course.
- If you have any issues contact the IT Service Desk at IT Service Desk.
Account Registration for Students
Important! When you first activate your account, you will not be assigned to your courses automatically. Your teacher will add you after you have registered and activated your account.
To get started:
- Go to https://share.moodle.kpu.ca.
- Click ‘Create new account’.
- Follow the instructions and activate your account by using
the confirmation link sent to your KPU email address. - Your teacher will add you to their course after you have
registered and activated your account. - If you have any issues contact your teacher and the IT Service Desk
IMPORTANT! There is currently no automatic assignment of courses or users in this Moodle installation, so a clear deadline for student account registration is recommended.
