LOL this was a tiny bit worse than useless. I have installed Moodle. The “how to get started” tell me to log in … erm… I log in and I have no courses. There’s no clue anywhere as to how to “log in” to Moodle on my site. I can’t even get started. “When you log into your site as an administrator…” okay… erm…. guess I’m supposed to alrady know how t o do that.
Is there a *clue* as to how to actually use Moodle once I’ve installed it? I scanned the assorted dashboards and … I can install it!
I don’t know if I missed something about the install, or what…

  Hello Xiousgeonz – sorry for the issues with learning about using Moodle. InMotion has a Moodle section (https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/moodle/) that you can use. And if you search on YouTube, there many videos that can help guide you through its use like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl74T-31tKI.
