Is there any easy way to change the word "Course" to "Section" or "Group" throughout a moodle site (in the same way as you can choose the terminology for Teacher and Student)
I am trying out moodle for an intranet where course would be confusing since the participants are not taking any courses.

Hi Lisa,
Easy, yes, but not as easy as changing the words "Teacher" or "Student" - there's no sitewide setting for changing "Course". You'll have to edit your language files. As the site admin, go to Administration » Configuration » Language » Compare and edit current language (your language files must be chmodded to allow editing from a webpage) and run a search for every occurrence of the word "Course" there - then replace it with whatever you need. You will note that when you enter Compare and edit current language you automatically get to edit the moodle.php file. To be on the safe side, you may also search other files for the word "Course"
Hope this helps

Thanks very much - it is a bit tedious, but it works - and gives me a much better feel for how the interface is generated.

Using a good editor such as Vim will allow you to perform a batch replace. For example:
:%s/course/section/gc - this would change all instances of "course" to "section" with confirmation of each replace so you can choose not to disturb a string.
