<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. | ||
