|-
| Point to the user icon
| We are logged in as '''teacher Nitya Jeevan'''.

|-
| Click on My courses → Calculus

Point to Amina.
| Click on '''My courses, Calculus, Participants.'''

We can see one '''student Amina'''.

This student was enrolled earlier by the '''Site Administrator''' into the '''Calculus course'''.

|-
| Point to Nitya and Teacher role. Point to Site Administrator.

Point to Amina and Student role.
| Generally, in '''academic institutions''', the '''teachers''' inform the '''Site Administrator''' to add a list of '''students''' into their '''courses'''.

|-
| Point to Site Administrator.
| Please note: '''Moodle Site Administrator''' is enrolled in every '''course''' by default.

|-
| Click: Enroll users → Pop-up opens
| Let’s now enroll the other '''student''' '''Mahima''' into this '''course'''.

Click on '''Enroll users''' at the bottom-right.

|-
| Select a user → Assign role as Student → Click Enroll users | In the pop-up box, select the user '''Mahima''' from the list.

Ensure the '''role''' is set to '''Student''' and click '''Enroll users'''.

|-
| Confirm enrolled user appears in the list
| '''Mahima''' is now enrolled in the '''Calculus course''' and listed under '''Participants'''.

Likewise, the '''teacher''' can enroll all '''students''' into her '''course'''.

|-
| Click: Select users Amina and Mahima Uncheck Mahima
| Let’s now learn to send a message to all '''students'''.

Select the students '''Amina''' and '''Mahima''' by clicking the checkbox next to their names.

If you want to message just one '''student''', then select that '''student''' only.

|-
| Check Select All checkbox → uncheck Teacher Nitya and Site Administrator checkboxes
| If the list of '''students''' is very long, you can check the '''Select All''' checkbox at the top.

Then uncheck the '''Teacher''' and the Site '''Administrator'''.

|-
| “With selected users...” dropdown → Select Send a message
| Click on '''With selected users…''' Select the option '''Send a message.'''

|-
| Message window opens
| A message window opens.

|-
| Type a message → Dear Students, We will have Prof.Kannan Moudgalya from IIT Bombay address the class on 22nd July 2025 at 11am in the Eklavya conference hall. Please make sure you are there to attend his talk. Thanks, Prof.Nitya Jeevan
| Type your message in the message box.

|-
| Click Send message
| Click '''Send message''' to notify the selected '''students'''.

|-
| Point to Amina and Mahima
| Next, let’s add '''notes''' for students.

Ensure '''Amina''' and '''Mahima''' are selected.

|-
| “With selected users...” dropdown → Select Add a note
| Click on '''With selected users…'''

Select the option '''Add a new note'''.

|-
| Context dropdown → course
| Context dropdown shows '''course''', by default.

|-
| Type the following content:
Look at the crossword puzzle available on https://www.armoredpenguin.com/crossword/Data/best/math/calculus.01.html

I think you will find this interesting.
| Type the '''note''' and click '''Add a new note'''.

Depending on the '''settings configured''' by the '''Site Administrator''', the '''note''' could be visible to other '''managers''' and '''teachers''' in this '''course'''.

|-
|
| And that’s how the '''teacher''' enrolls '''students''' manually in her '''course''' and communicates with them in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| Login as mahima.singh
Password Mahima@123
| Now, let’s '''logout''' and '''login''' as '''student Mahima'''.

|-
| Dashboard → at the top right → bell icon → point to 4
| On the '''Dashboard''', at the top right, look at the '''bell''' icon.

It says 4 next to it.

That’s because '''Moodle''' sent a total of 4 '''notifications''' to '''Mahima'''.

|-
| Click the bell icon
| Click on the '''bell''' icon to view the '''subject line''' of the '''notifications'''.

|-
| Click View full notification
| Click '''View full notification''' to read each full message.

|-
| Click each notification one by one
| While you are on this page, you can navigate through all the notifications one by one.

|-
| Dashboard → at the top right → callout icon → point to 4 → point to Private
| On the '''Dashboard''', at the top right, look at the '''callout''' icon.

It says 1 next to it.

That’s because the '''teacher''' has sent a total of 1 message to '''Mahima'''.

Also, the message is listed below '''Private'''.

|-
| Click the callout icon → sidebar expands
| Click on the '''callout''' icon.

Immediately the '''sidebar''' expands and we can view a few words of the message the '''teacher''' sent.

Also the message is listed below '''Private'''.

|-
| Click right arrow → click left arrow
| Click the right arrow to expand and read the whole message.

Then click the left arrow to collapse the message.

|-
| '''Slide: Important Information'''
| Unlike '''announcements''' or '''forum posts''', '''notes''' are not visible publicly on the '''course page''' for '''students'''.

It depends on the '''student’s access rights''' and the '''context''' at which the '''notes''' have been '''set'''.

The '''students''' get '''email notifications''' for each '''note''' sent by the '''teacher'''.

|-
|
| So that’s how '''students''' view '''notifications''' and '''messages''' in '''Moodle'''!

|-
| '''Slide: Summary'''

To summarise, in this tutorial, we learnt how a '''teacher''' can:
* Enroll '''students''' into a '''course'''
* Assign '''Student''' role to a '''registered user'''
* Send a message to all '''students'''
* Add notes for '''students'''
| Here is the summary of this tutorial.

|-
| '''Slide: Assignment'''
