We do not have a course administration block in Moodle 2.x.  I would call this page "course administration".  However, teachers definition of course administration is probably different than a developers.  This explains why the Template is called course administration and includes items not found under course administration in the settings menu.


Is this a copy of the admin course block? It looks like it should be. If so the following are missing
I propose that we redirect (but first copy) this page to "Course administration menu".  We leave the template alone.

Chris - I agree, move the content to 'Course administration menu'.  I'm not sure this page is even required as it's now under "Settings" block???  I have linked to Course administration menu via the Settings block. --[[User:Teresa Gibbison|Teresa Gibbison]] 09:42, 9 September 2011 (WST)

::Hi Darren, please note that Help in the Administration block should link to [[Teacher documentation]]. There are not yet pages for Turn editing on or Teacher Forum. If you wish to write some documentation for them then please create the pages. There is already a [[Moodle database|database]] page. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 04:30, 27 March 2006 (WST)
 
==Out of date==
I was checking to see if the admin course block said grades or gradebook.  There was no picture.  I added one and then happen to read the text.  There seems to be information about sections here that does not belong. Then there are references to scales which are in the site administration block.  It would be nice if we changed the name of this page to Course Admininstration block. Seems like this is really what this page is about.
 
Can I make the edit changes concerning scales, sections and other things not found in the course administration block?  A little distraction from my pondering Grades :) Thanks --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 08:56, 5 June 2008 (CDT)
===Example, needs more work but===
All of the links in the administration block are only available to teachers of the course. Students will receive their own version of the [[student administration block|block]].  More information about specific links can be found in the box to the right.
 
Features in the administration block allow teachers [[Assign roles]] in a course to any site user (for example [[Students | student]] and other [[Teachers | teachers]]). There is a Grades link  to view the course [[Grades | gradebook]], where the teacher can also create custom [[Scales | grading scales]] and letter or word displays instead of a number score.  The [[Outcomes]] link is a new 1.9 feature.  When enabled in settings, [[Groups]] allow the teacher to separated students for different activities.  Some teachers have the rights to [[Course backup|backup]] and [[Restore|restore]] their course.  The [[Import course data|import]] link will allow the teacher to bring in all or parts of other courses they teach on the Moodle site.  The [[Reset course|reset]] link is a quick way to use a course again for a different set of students.  Specific student activity can be seen as logs with the [[Reports]] link.  The [[Question bank]] can be accessed from the Course Administration block instead of the [[Quiz]] activity.  The entire [[Files|course file]] structure for student and teacher materials is located here.
 
need to check links and maybe break up or reorganize the paragraph in something other that the listed order.  --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 09:27, 5 June 2008 (CDT)
