I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on my imagined use case for meta courses.
Say I've got a college course for students - English 101 (shortcode ENG101) which has three moodle courses of content that they need to complete as part of the English 101 course e.g.
- English 101: Parent (ENG101)
- English 101: Spoken
- English 101: Written
- English 101: Reading
I'd like to use our external database system to manage the enrollment for the courses by automatically enrolling students into a meta course called English 101: Parent . Students should then be automatically enrolled into the three linked courses.
My issue is that the English 101: Parent meta course actually has no content, it's all contained within the linked courses (Spoken, Written, Reading). I wondered whether it would be possible to make the English 101: Parent meta course hidden so that students can't see or access it but it will still pass their enrollment info onto the other three courses.
Reading the moodle documentation on meta courses I'm not sure whether this is possible. Does anyone have any advice?
