Teaching with Moodle

A concern that I have is that teachers may abandon crafting and recycling their moodle classes if they are regularly overwritten. On the other hand, they may throw up their hands in frustration when they keep inheriting a legacy of clutter from past courses taught by previous teachers

We just developed a course set up 'wizard'. What it does is gives the teacher the option of setting up a new course from a template or re-using one of their old courses. If they choose to re-use an old course, it does a 'restore wiithout user data' so that they get a new copy of their previously taught course with all their material but without old user data.

They put in a course id number which automatically enrolls current students from our banner database, probably you could do something similar with Firstclass.

We'll put in in contrib/moodle_enterprise next week (the one in there now has a bug if you don't set up course categories).
