I use Moodle with very young learners who don't have emails.


I add them manually by uploading users.


Is there a way to get rid of any learner email requirement (except mine )


Thanks

Email address is required.   But ... you can 'fake it'.

Let's say your moodle's FQDN is mygreatmoodle.somenet.net

All young students email addresses would be 'fake' ... username@mygreatmoodle.somenet.net

Your moodle isn't a mail server and as long as you don't setup email accounts for students, any email sent to 'anyuser'@mygreatmoodle.somenet.net doesn't leave the server.

Moodle only checks that the format of an email address is valid .. meaning as long as there are no spaces, some text (no special characters) before the '@' and what appears to be a top level domain ... somenet.net ... then it's a good address for account creation by CSV or manually.

Used to set up moodles for K12 schools .. so I know above worked back then (many years ago now) and should work today. smile
