Moodle is a VLE platform available to use at Edinburgh for courses that are taught completely online for distance students only. Currently courses are created and students are added by manual processes – either via the Moodle interface or by import of a CSV file. This creates a staff overhead that will be difficult to sustain in the medium to long term if the service is to expand to accommodate new and successful ODL courses as well as making it impossible to expand the use of the service for blended or on campus courses.

This project will deliver data feeds that:

·         Create courses on request

·         Create staff and student users in the system for those course where Moodle has been selected

Populate those courses with the students enrolled on those courses, as well as staff members such as the course organiser and secretary,
