im implementing moodle 2.9 in a k-12 school , i just need your help in which scenario i have to apply to fit with dividing students into classes and make the course unique for every stage but with different activities for each class .
with taking in consideration that every class have a teacher and every course have a supervisor on these teachers .
all of that just to limit the creation of courses " i just dont want to make a course for each class "
thanks

Hi
As you rightly found out, the course is the basic unit of Moodle. One tends to underestimate, may be because the term is so familiar, but creating a good course is a subject of its own. How about conducting a course, assisted by Moodle, for a semester and then expand to design a whole college?
P. S. You may want to ask the moderator to move this discussion to the Teaching with Moodle https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=41 forum.

Re: implementing moodle 2.9 in k-12 school
I have moved the thread into the Teaching with Moodle forum. First I'd suggest looking at Moodle site - basic structure. How you organise your students and teachers varies from school to school. In my old school for example we used categories for subjects (eg English, Mathematics) and then had a course per year group - Y7, Y8 ( I am in the UK) and then used Groups to separate the classes in the courses. Students and teachers were added to their groups by a csv file at the start of the year so it was easily managed. So all the Y7 English teachers and classes were working in the same course but if they really wanted to , they could use Restrict access features to only show work to their own classes and hide it from other classes.
However ...this is just one way of doing it and hopefully you will learn some other ways of organising your K-12 school Moodle and you will be able to make your own decision. Also take a look at our Admin quick guide and our Teacher quick guide
Re: implementing moodle 2.9 in k-12 school
thanks for the reply , im following your way but im making the stage in the category not the course , just to collect all the stage reports in one place , but still the point what i will do if i wanna view any records for the previous academic years like grades or attendance not the material content of the course , i dont find moodle very useful in some "management" features if we have to call so , but its needed in most of educational institutions
