1.3 Creation Screen

The creation screen lets you create you own account with Moodle. This is the best way for online resources, so you get used to the tool. It is illustrated in figure 3.

Do not pick just any username. Use your student ID as your login name.

Failing to do this may lead to incorrect grade entering!

I have the following guideline for this screen:

• Username: you student ID number, just the 7 digits
• Password: your choice. Moodle isn't exactly a very sensitive web site, so ``normal'' passwords should do.
• Email address: this must be a real one. Otherwise, you'll miss notifications and announcements. You do not need to use a ZIP account, although it is helpful to have a ZIP account.
• Email Again: this is just to make sure you do not enter the first field incorrectly.
• First name: Your given name.
• Surname: Your last name.
• City/town: Completely optional. Do enter something, though.
• Country: optional.

When you're all done, click ``create my new account''. Except for the username, you can change everything later on. So, don't get too upset if you spell something wrong.

You'll get a confirmation screen. Then, click ``Continue''. This brings you back to the entry screen.
