Uploading Users in Moodle

Step 1: Administrator clicks on Upload Users

As an administrator, go to Site Administration | Users | Accounts | Upload users:
_

Step 2: Add file containing user information

Add a CSV (comma delimited) file to upload. Here and the fields and data for the ff example: username,password,firstname,lastname,email jdelacruz, 1JDsecret, Juan, De la Cruz, [email protected]

'TIps' * In field information, avoid special characters like quotes ("") and ñ. * A CSV file can be had from a list on Excel (or any Spreadsheet) by doing “Saved as” and choosing CSV format. * Use alphanumeric character combination (capital, number, small letter, special character) for a password. * Check settings and default user profile settings. Adjust these settings, only if you're absolutely sure about the need. * Additional fields like cohort and course may be added for convenience.
