Moodle stores learning resources and activities in courses, which belong to categories. In the first part of this chapter, you will learn to:

• Organize courses in categories and sub-categories
• Create and manage courses
• Deal with course requests
• Manage courses in bulk

In the second part of the chapter, we will cover different ways of enrolling users to courses. The enrolment mechanisms that will be covered are:

• Internal enrolment (manual, self, and guest)
• Cohort enrolment and synchronization
• Database-driven enrolment (LDAP, external databases, flat files, and IMS Enterprise files)
• Meta courses
• Payment-driven enrolment (PayPal)
