Set Guest access

Guests are anyone who can access your course without logging into Moodle first. This can be handy for students deciding which modules to elect, or visiting lecturers who simply don't need to do much in Moodle except a read-only view into a course. Guests are restricted in terms of what they can do, i.e. they can't post into forums, submit assignments or do any kind of grading etc.

If you need to give someone a richer access to Moodle, we recommend you seek to get them a proper UCL account. Contact your departmental computer rep or senior administrator who should have rights to create these kinds of accounts.

UCL also has UCLeXtend - UCL's public-facing e-learning environment. If your cohort is more external than UCL-folk, you might be better off using this instead. It's Moodle based too! Find out more, on the UCLeXtend 101 wiki space.
