Moodle Best Practices: Best Extensions Best Lower School Use

Most schools seem to be mandating at least minimal Moodle Use

How do you go from year to year?

Put new courses in a New Courses category hidden to student view Teacher moves courses when ready into the appropriate category Enrolled all teachers as course creators

Name course with school year at end 09-10 and then search for all of those

Section at bottom with Archived Classes Assign override role called banned, which pulls all rights from that course.

LDAP authentication (or link to a registrar system like Senior Systems)

Need to work with someone good with active directory.

Put in Host URL for look up Course Creator is a group

At the end of the year, anything still in new courses is moved, manually, to unused.

Could also authenticate against FirstClass

Use basic back up and restore function without user data for archiving.

Back-up/Restore works better than Import (conversation to be continued in session 3, same room)
