About
Kickstart’s course creator offers a clean, efficient interface that removes unnecessary options and focuses on the basics. Courses created with it are usually set to use the Kickstart format.
Accessing the course creator
To open the course creator manually, go to Site administration > Courses > Courses > Create course from template.
To streamline the workflow, enable the course creator redirect in the global settings. When active, users are automatically taken to the Kickstart course creator when they attempt to create a new course.
Available settings
The course creator displays the course creator instructions (defined in the plugin’s general settings), followed by only the fields required to create a course in Moodle:
Course full name
Short name
Automatically copied from the full name, but can be edited by clicking the pencil icon.
Course category
Once these fields are filled out, clicking Continue creates the course and opens it.
After creation, you can still access the full course settings to fine-tune visibility, enrolment methods, or other advanced options.
