&lt;div&gt;A &#039;&#039;&#039;metacourse&#039;&#039;&#039; automatically enrolls participants from other &amp;quot;child&amp;quot; courses.  Metacourses take their enrollments from other courses. This feature can populate many courses from one enrollment or one course from many enrollments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, a course is part of a program (metacourse).  Each time a student enrols in (or unenrols from) this course, they are enrolled/unenrolled from any metacourse(s) associated with it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please note that metacourse enrolments do not preserve groups and enrolment does not happen immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Metacourse setup==&lt;br /&gt;
Teachers are able to choose whether a course is a metacourse via the &amp;quot;Is this a metacourse?&amp;quot; (yes/no) menu option in the [[Course settings|course settings]]. In Moodle 1.5 and 1.6, if a meta course is chosen, the [[Students|students]] page changes from listing/searching for students to listing/searching for courses.  In Moodle 1.7 &amp;quot;Child courses&amp;quot; appears in the teacher&#039;s administration block.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Metacourse examples==&lt;br /&gt;
Metacourses may be used in a variety of ways:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Scenario 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; X is a metacourse with Course 1 through 4 as normal courses with standard student enrollments. Students enrolling on these courses are automatically enrolled onto Metacourse X. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Metacourses1_en.jpg|Standard Metacourse Usage|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, a math teacher or department has 2 algebra and 2 geometry courses. The teacher or department wants course for each of these subjects. But they also want a generic space where they can post things for all of the students in all of their courses, perhaps including compulsory work for all students.  By making algebra 1 &amp;amp; 2 and geometry 1 &amp;amp; 2 as each as part of a Math metacourse, they achieve this goal. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Scenario 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Metacourses 1-4 are linked to Y which is a normal course. Students enrolling on Course Y are automatically enrolled on Metacourses  1-4. This would be used, for example, when all five courses are intended to have exactly the same students. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Metacourses2_en.jpg|Upsidedown Metacourse Usage|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In both diagrams you can see students being enrolled normally into standard courses and then the entire student list of a course being added to the Metacourse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Scenario 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; One or more meta courses are used as a library of resources and activities.  For example, the English department has collected material useful in writing papers. Teachers can direct or embed a link to a specific reference about citations, or how to select a topic for a paper or suggested reading compiled by students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Scenario 4:&#039;&#039;&#039; The metacourse feature can also be used &amp;quot;in reverse.&amp;quot;  Say you have a Diploma program that involves courses D1, D2, D3, and D4.  In this case, you would create a &amp;quot;Diploma&amp;quot; course as a normal course (non-metacourse).  You would then designate programs D1 through D4 as metacourses (plus completing the student enrollment task under Course Administration).  When a student enrolls in &amp;quot;Diploma&amp;quot;, he or she will be automatically enrolled in courses D1 through D4.&lt;br /&gt;
