How can I be added to a Moodle unit area that I teach on?
You will need to be added by someone who already has access to the Moodle area and has either a QLS Leader or Tutor role. They will add you as a Tutor.
How can I remove myself from a Moodle area that I do not teach on?
Log into the web form.
Untick the box next to the Moodle area you wish to remove yourself from and click the save button at the bottom of the form.
The next time you log in to Moodle, the unit area will have been removed.
PLEASE NOTE: once you have removed yourself from a unit area, you can only be added back in by someone who has a QLS Leader or Tutor role in that unit area. See How can I be added to a unit area that I teach on?
How can I add other teaching staff to my unit area? (note you will have to already be enrolled as a Tutor or QLS Leader to be able to add other staff)
Log into the web form.
Click ‘Add Staff’ on the right-hand side of your unit name.
Click the ‘Add’ button beneath Action.
You can now search for the member of staff using either their Staff Code, Forename or Surname or a mixture of Forename and Surname. (eg. Smith or John Smith)
When you have identified the correct staff member, click Add.
You now have a choice about which role the staff member should have in your unit area from the dropdown block. This will normally just have two options – Observer or Tutor. If an additional role has been assigned to that person (e.g. Student) then that will also be available in the drop down menu. Select the Tutor role.
Click Save and when the staff member next logs into Moodle they will have access to the areas to which you have added them.
How do I remove staff that are showing up in one of my Moodle areas who shouldn't be there?

Click the ‘Add’ button beneath Action.

Staff you have assigned with an Observer role should now have access to your area.
I am in the unit area as QLS Leader but it should be someone else. How can I change this?
The QLS Leader role is the only role that cannot be changed using this form. In order to change the name of the person who has this role, please contact Management Services who can amend it in QLS. Any changes will then be synchronised overnight and will appear the following day.
None of the staff listed as teaching the unit in Moodle are actually teaching it. How can I get the correct staff added to the unit?
The Unit Leader must be changed in QLS by Management Services. Once Moodle and QLS have been synchronised overnight, the new Unit Leader can then take charge of that area and organise the teaching team by following the instructions above .
