The paper is part of a series of introductory and survey lectures on Drinfeld modules that have been delivered at the workshop in Alden-Biesen, Belgium, 1996. Topics covered include: Drinfeld \(A\)-modules over schemes, level structures of such, moduli problems, and the existence and principal properties of moduli schemes. The most difficult part (smoothness of the moduli scheme \(M^r(n)\) and flatness of level change morphisms \(M^r(n)\to M^r(m))\) is proved in full detail in the special case where the ring \(A\) is a polynomial ring \(\mathbb{F}_q[T]\) over the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_q\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0897.00023].
