<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Course Categories</B></P>

<P>Your Moodle administrator may have set up several
course categories.

<P>For example, "Science", "Humanities", "Public Health" etc

<P>Choose the one most applicable for your course. This
choice will affect where your course is displayed on the
course listing and may make it easier for students to
find your course.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Course News Items</B></P>

<P>A special forum called "News" appears in the
"weekly" and "topics" course formats. It's
a good place to post notices for all students
to see. (By default, all students are subscribed
to this forum, and will receive your notices by
email.)

<P>This setting determines how many recent items
appear on your course home page, in a news box
down the right-hand side.

<P>If you set it to "0 news items" then the news
box won't even appear.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Course Number of Weeks/Topics</B></P>

<P>This setting is only used by the 'weekly' and 'topics'
course formats.

<P>In the 'weekly' format, it specifies the number of weeks
that the course will run for, starting from the
course starting date.

<P>In the 'topics' format, it specifies the number of topics
in the course.

<P>Both of these translate to the number of "boxes" down the
middle of the course page.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Course short name</B></P>

<P>Many institutions have a shorthand way of referring to a course, such as
BP102 or COMMS. Even you don't already have such a name for your course,
make one up here. It will be used in several places where the long name
isn't appropriate (such us in the subject line of email).</P>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Course Start Date</B></P>

<P>This is where you specify the starting time of the
course (in your own timezone).

<P>If you are using a 'weekly' course format, this will
affect the display of the weeks. The first week will
start on the date you set here.

<P>This setting will not affect courses using the
'social' or 'topics' formats.

<P>However, one place this setting will be affect is
the display of logs, which use this date as the earliest
possible date you can display.

<P>In general, if your course does have a real starting date
then it makes sense to set this date to that, no matter
what course formats you are using.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Course Enrolment Key</B></P>

<P>A course enrolment key is what keeps unwanted people
out of your course.

<P>If you leave this blank, then anyone who has created
a Moodle username on this site will be able to enrol
in your course.

<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. (If you have also turned on
guest access then guests will be challenged for the
key EVERY TIME they log 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.

<P>If this password "gets out" and you have unwanted people
enrolling, you can unenrol them (see their user profile page)
and change this key. Any legitimate students who have already enrolled will
not be affected, but the unwanted people won't be able
to get back in.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Guest Access</B></P>

<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 also set an enrolment key (usually a good idea),
then the guest user will be challenged to provide the
enrolment key EVERY TIME they log in to the course.
