Non-University of Minnesota users can use Guest IDs in order to participate in the Moodle sites, WebVista, Wiki, myU portal, and other University services that allow guest access.
1. Create and activate Guest ID
- The participant should create a Guest ID via the myU portal by filling out this online form. The email address that is specified in this online form will become a Guest ID.
- IMPORTANT: The participant has to activate the Moodle account by logging in to Moodle server or into one of our demonstration courses with that Guest ID and password.
- Once the Guest ID is activated in Moodle (added to the user database), it will act as a regular U of M Internet ID with one exception: users with a Guest ID will not be able to login to the myU Portal at this time and should go directly to the Moodle server to access their sites.
- Instructors/designers can later manually add users with Guest IDs either as students, co-instructors, or visitors to their sites, in the same fashion as they do with regular Internet IDs. OR
- Participants may self-enroll into the Moodle sites if they know site name or URL, and have an enrollment key, provided by the instructor.
2. Create and activate Guest IDs in bulk
- You can also create Guest IDs in bulk (.doc) for your prospective users. This is done via the myU portal and supported by myU portal team.
- Later those IDs can be bulk-activated in Moodle by Moodle support team
