[Server-devel] school server Moodle enrollment

[Andra DuPont]

Tony,
I just got back from Kenya where I installed a server at Asilong Primary school in West Pokot. This may be the first server in Kenya.

To answer your question... if you have one laptop (even non-XO) that is assigned coursecreator role, then go to Moodle on that laptop, and you should have the ability to re-assign roles to the other users. I don't have a running server here, but as I recall, on the left side of the main Moodle screen, you can navigate to either a users or permissions screeen, and if you keep looking around, there is a screen that shows the assigned roles for all the XOs registered to your server. You can move them from one role to another using the interface, but you need to on a laptop that has coursecreator privileges.

If you don't have one with coursecreator privileges, then you can log in as administrator. Documentation on how to do that is on the schoolserver site at wiki.laptop.org.
