How learners access your course will often depend on the policies of your institution and Moodle administrator. Some institutions might require students to create accounts and then find and enrol themselves into their chosen courses whereas others might automatically enrol all your learners into your course for  you. Some might allow guest access; others not.

As a course teacher you can see which methods of enrolment are available by clicking the Participants link in the nav drawer and then clicking Enrolment methods from the gear menu. You can see who is already in your course and you can  manually enrol learners into your course by clicking Enrolled users.

(Note that manual enrolment is not available on the Learn Moodle site. If you wish other participants to view your course, you can enable self-enrolment.)

A teacher cannot normally enrol another teacher into their course however. You will have to ask your administrator if you wish to share a course with another teaching colleague.
