Assigning multiple teachers to a course csv upload

Hi,

I am a Moodle admin I create courses and assign teachers regularly using file uploads and it works quite well.

Here is a screenshot of my assign teachers csv,

Th question is, If a course has more than one teacher how can I add the other teachers? comma between user names, separate column  for role2?

I am not sure what to try. Any help appreciated.

Stacy,

You need to have a new, separate row, one for each teacher role you want to assign.

Each row is the processing for only one user at a time, so for multiple users you have to have multiple rows, even if you are giving them the same role in the same course.

HI Randy,
Thank you for your help. I ran into a time pinch and added the teachers manually this time. I will give your solution a try next term. Moodle documentation is generally good on the internet, but I have been searching for this for years with no helpful instruction.
Thanks again.

Stacy,

Is there something missing from the User upload page that would help with this? https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Upload_users Both the instructions ("The first line contains the valid field names. The rest of the lines (records) contain information about each user." and the various examples show one user per line, however that page is very long because there are so many options for the upload ;) It's a wiki, so you can always feel free to add or improve on it.

Hi Randy,
Yes, that is a lot of information on one page. I think I will try to create a few paragraphs to add specific to assigning teachers to courses and multiple teachers in a course. Maybe then Google will index that and search results will be better.

Stacy,

Yes, one day I hope to revisit that page and clean it up a bit. It has grown over the years as new features were added onto it. It needs some serious gardening.

Meanwhile, thanks for help improve it smile
