| '''Metacourses''' are courses which take their enrolments from other courses i.e. for every course 'enrolled' on the metacourse, all students in the course are also enrolled in the metacourse.

| | |
| Each time a student enrols on (or unenrols from) a course, s/he is enrolled/unenrolled from any metacourse(s) associated with it (although it doesn't happen immediately - it may take an hour to show up).
| |
| | |
| Please note that metacourse enrolments do not preserve groups.
| |
| | |
| ==Metacourse setup==
| |
| Teachers are able to choose whether a course is a metacourse via the "Is this a metacourse?" (yes/no) checkbox in the [[Settings|course settings]]. If a meta course is chosen, the [[Students|students]] page changes from listing/searching for students to listing/searching for courses.

| ==Metacourse usage==
| |
| Metacourses may be used in a variety of ways. For example, consider a course C with units C1, C2, C3 and C4.
| |
| | |
| *Scenario 1: C is a metacourse with C1, C2, C3 and C4 as normal courses. Students enrolling on C1 or C2 or C3 or C4 are automatically enrolled on C.
