Talk:Metacourse

Intro and Examples

Really like the graphics which helped me (the auto enrolment box). Read the forum thread link and decided to update the intro, with Darren Smith's mantra and include Randy Orwin's example. I like the combination of a generic graphic with a simple example that uses different labels to add additional learning hooks.

I tend to agree with Darren that metacourses may not be the best name (is it hard to change MoodleSpeak such Branch Table) but my goal is about not what it is called but how to explain it. I saw that somebody used "program" which might help describe this feature in some but not all examples.

My site administrator wants me to gather information on the direction of groups and groupings and how they interact with metacourses in 1.8 and onward. Especially when they deal with enrolments. My secondary goal is how to simply explain it. Best to all --Chris collman 06:38, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Diagrams

I'm wondering whether adding some color (and/or total student numbers) to these diagrams would help to show that in the first example C contains the sum of all students of the other courses i.e. ten students in each of C1-C4 would mean 40 students in C. While in the second example X students in C means the exact same X students are in C1-C4. --David Scotson 23:20, 14 July 2006 (WST)

Does anyone know why the language in the diagram appears to have changed to chinese? I'm fairly certain it was english at the time I made the above comment, but I can't find any log of changes relating to it --David Scotson 17:30, 31 July 2006 (WST)

The language change is a mystery to me too, anyway the new diagrams are really great! :-) --Helen Foster 19:40, 1 August 2006 (WST)
