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

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

• Cohort enrolment and synchronization

• Database-driven enrolment (LDAP, external databases, flat files, and IMS Enterprise files)

• Meta courses

• Payment-driven enrolment (PayPal)
