The release of a fully integrated third-party module by dimdim for use with Moodle has been installed on CRTeacher. This module allows CRTeacher subscribers to select Dimdim Web Meeting from the Add an activity... drop-down menu available in each center section displayed within a course.

The web meeting software offered by dimdim features include: cross-platform (PC, Mac and Linux) usability, desktop sharing, annotation and whiteboard tools, and the ability to assign presenter capabilities to any participant.
Getting Started with Moodle at CRTeacherDocumentation
If you are ready to start learning how to use all of the features contained within Moodle, we recommend that teachers start with the online article Moodle documentation for teachers.

Course full name & short name
You can change the course long and short names yourself in courses where you are the teacher. Enter the desired course and then go to the Administration block and click on the Settings link. You will see these two fields near the top of the page. When done, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Save changes button.

Course enrollment key
Once our staff has assigned your user profile as the teacher of a course, you should set an enrollment key for each of your courses. Otherwise, anyone who creates a user account on CRTeacher.com, can enroll in your course by merely logging in and clicking on your course title.

Fee-based enrollment
Moodle does support using PayPal™ to charge students to enroll in a course. However, all payments from a single Moodle site must be directed to a single PayPal™ account. Thus, we are unable to allow each CRTeacher subscriber the ability to charge students to access their hosted courses. However, upgrading to a shared Moodle hosting account will provide you with your own unique Moodle site where fee-based enrollment options are available.

Course requests
Each teacher may have up to five (5) course accounts for use with up to 150 students, or ~30 students per course. The Course Creation block is available on the upper left side of the screen on the CRTeacher.com home page, as long as you are a teacher in good standing of any course on this Moodle site. Click on the Request a course link and fill out the form to complete your course request.

If you are not currently a teacher on CRTeacher.com, you may subscribe at any time in order to become one.

Student self-enrollment
Self-enrollment allows your students to create their own user accounts and enroll in your course(s). Not only will this save you time, but since self-enrollment requires authentication by email, your students will also be able to independently reset their password in case it is ever forgotten or lost. To aid you in this process, we have prepared CRTeacher.com student self-enrollment instructions handout which you may adapt and freely distribute to your students.

Creating and enrolling students by file upload
Firstly, note that it is usually not necessary to import users in bulk - it is often better to first explore forms of authentication that do not require manual maintenance, such as letting users create their own accounts. However, if your students do not have access to email, you will need to prepare and submit a .csv file that can be used to create and enroll students in your courses.

Backup & Restore Moodle Courses
If you have already created a course on another Moodle site you can load a copy of it to your CRTeacher.com course. First, make a backup of the course and then download it to your local PC. You may then upload the backup file to the Files area of your CRTeacher.com course so that you can restore it. Teachers are unable to make course backup files containing any student data, or create or import roles using restore.

Account Confirmation

Once a new user account is created, CRTeacher will automatically mail a confirmation email containing an authentication link that must be clicked in order to activate the new user account.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, please check your spam filter. Some spam filters automatically remove any email that appears to be automated.
