Hi Ramo,
I'm not a coder so I don't know much about "tables" but I don't think you need to modify them.
Sorry I wasn't clear: I wrote "editing teacher" to distinuish it from "non editing teacher" but I just meant the normal "teacher" role. You don't need to create anything - it's a standard role see : http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles_2.0
Cheers,

Hi Ramo,
It took me a while to understand that the "Course creator" role was not that of a super teacher, but of a sub administrator. Their role is basicially just to set up courses and to allocate teachers to them.
"Course creators" are only really necessary in a large institution where the Administrator doesn't have time to set up all the courses and so delegates the work to other people: typically one "Course creator" is set up in each department. This person is not necessarily the head teacher in the department, it could be a secretary or technician. This is why "Course creators" can only intervene in the courses they set up: it wouldn't make sense for people from the maths department to modify courses in the French department and vice versa, would it?
It is the role of "Editing teachers" to create and edit the pedagogical content of a course. There can be two or more "Editing teachers" working as a team in the same course.
It's true that "Course creators" can teach in the courses they create in the same way that Administrators can teach in the courses they create but they don't usually do so. They have the capabilities just so they can sort out problems.
Cheers,
Glenys
Hi William,
Like a lot of us, you're getting confused between setting up Moodle locally on your desktop computer (it could be a Windows XP or Windows 7 or a Mac OS X) and running Moodle on a Windows server. Look at the screen shot below, you need a "Standard Moodle Package" for a production site not "Moodle for Windows".
In Adminstrator Documentation you will find information about how to set up a production Moodle.
This presentation of the possibilities has been causing confusion for years. Maybe one day...
Cheers,
Glenys
Salut Joseph,
Just to clarify, the standard Hot Potatoes JCloze aussi permet une liste déroulant et de tenir compte ou non de la casse. Il permet aussi une liste des mots à trouver en tête de l'exercice, de voir la lettre suivante et aussi d'avoir des "indices". Avec les "add ons" de Michael Rottmeier il y a bien d'autres variantes mais pas, je crois des boutons radio ni des réponses numériques. Stan Bogdanov a publié un Taxonomy des différents types d'exercices possibles avec Hot Potatoes avec des exemples.
Il serait intéressant d'avoir un tableau comparatif d'exercices possibles avec Test et avec Hot Potatoes - aussi avec des liens vers des exemples. Pas forcément limité à Test et Hot Potatoes - je suis en train de découvrir Xerte Online Toolkits qui propose des activités qu'on ne peut faire ni dans Test (je crois) ni dans Hot Potatoes : "hot spots" et classifications par catégories, par exemple. (Mais certaines personnes ont eu des difficultés avec l'installation - voir Using Moodle.)
Cheers,
Glenys
