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

Reject 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)
• if no courses are available
• if authentication is required to to enter the site
• if authorisation is required to enter site
• if it appears the site is spam related
• if you receive any of the following messages: address not found
  • page not found
  • not found
  • index of/
  • connection timed out
  • secure connection failed
  • forbidden - you do not have permission to enter this site
