Course Category

Course categories organize courses for all Moodle site participants. The default course category on a new Moodle site is "Miscellaneous" (although this can be renamed). A Course creator, Administrator or Manager can put all courses in the Miscellaneous category. However, teachers and students will find it easier to find their classes if courses are organised in descriptive categories.

Adding Course Category

Use the following steps to add a course category;

• Go to Administration > Site administration > Courses > Add a category
• Complete the details required and click 'Create category.'
• Alternatively, you can go to Administration>Site administration>Courses>Manage courses and categories and click the link 'Create new category'.
