<P>If you put something here, then students who are trying
to get in for the FIRST TIME ONLY will be asked to supply
this word or phrase. The guest account can also get in

<P>The idea is that you will supply the key to authorised
people using another means like private email, snail mail,
on the phone or even verbally in a face to face class.

enrolling, you can unenrol them (see their user profile page)

<P>You have the choice of allowing "guests" into your course

<P>People can log in as guests using the "Login as a guest" button
on the login screen.

<P>Guests have "read-only" access - meaning they can't leave
any posts or otherwise mess up the course for real students.

<P>This can be handy when you want to let a colleague in to
look around at your work, or to let students see a course before
they have decided to enrol.

<P>If you have Guest access turned off, but have an enrolment key
defined, then guests can still get in provided they can provide
the right enrolment key.
