Course Categories
+ +Your Moodle administrator may have set up several + course categories. + +
For example, "Science", "Humanities", "Public Health" etc + +
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. diff --git a/lang/en/help/coursefullname.html b/lang/en/help/coursefullname.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..171de93fac5 --- /dev/null +++ b/lang/en/help/coursefullname.html @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +

Course Number of Weeks/Topics

Course short name

Course Enrolment Key
+ +A course enrolment key is what keeps unwanted people + out of your course. + +
If you leave this blank, then anyone who has created + a Moodle username on this site will be able to enrol + in your course. + +
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). + +
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. + +
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. + diff --git a/lang/en/help/guestaccess.html b/lang/en/help/guestaccess.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..6eb827edcd3 --- /dev/null +++ b/lang/en/help/guestaccess.html @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +
Guest Access
+ +You have the choice of allowing "guests" into your course + +
People can log in as guests using the "Login as a guest" button + on the login screen. + +
Guests have "read-only" access - meaning they can't leave + any posts or otherwise mess up the course for real students. + +
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. + +
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. +
