Development:Site registration
Guidelines for reviewing new Moodle sites
How site authorisation works
- Select a site from the list on the the left side panel (opening several, each in its own tab, works well.) The site and statistics at the time it was registered are displayed in the upper pane. Either accept or reject the site using the guidelines below
- Large sites are automatically registered - only smaller sites appear on this list
- Site admins receive notification of the action taken. They can easily re-register at a later date.
Guidelines for accepting a site
- Site must be accessible and active
- Site must have at least 1 active course
- Site must look legitimate (look at graphics, text, domain name, etc)
Guidelines for rejecting a site

if it appears to be a test site or contains only test courses
if redirected to another site (e.g. a commercial site selling something)
