To add a user

- Click Add [plus sign] in the toolbar.
- If there are multiple roles available in the course, use the dropdown to indicate which role permissions you want this user to have.

- An email address.
- Click Enroll once you've found or created the user.

I just want to add students so they can take the pre and post assessment for Foundations of Technology. Why can't I just upload my 8 classes into the system without having to type all that "stuff?"
This system is NOT user friendly.
Karen, I am sorry for your frustration.
You are correct that a teacher can currently only add one enrollment at a time. However, there are a couple of other options that could be used.
I appreciate your feedback and will note it for our team. I hope that these other options are helpful for your needs!
Brad,
I have 8 sections of classes with 36-46 students per class, a total of 300+ students. I use Edmodo as my web pressence, the grading app the district uses does not allow importing from other websites or apps, and I do not want to have multiple logins for my students. I have enough trouble getting them to check Edmodo assignments regularly, let alone their grades.
I have initiated having a f2f training on Buzz, but not til after Labor Day. Guess the pre-test will have to wait.
