Subcourse behaves as a graded activity. The grade for each student is automatically fetched from a final grade in another course. This allows course designers to organize the learning content into separate units.

Subcourse is an activity module that represents the final grade obtained in another course. This allows to create "meta-gradebook" in one course, where all final grades from other courses are aggregated.
- Grades are fetched automatically or can be fetched manually any time.
- The grade type and other grade item settings are copied from the original grade total item and can not be changed.
- Subcourse can be automatically marked as a completed when the referenced course is completed.
- If the final grade in the referenced course is hidden, the associated subcourse activity grade is hidden, too.
This allows to apply the concept of grades aggregation to a next level and aggregate grades across courses.

Awesome work. Been using this for years but have to stop using it due to the load on our cron.
We don't need it to run automatically so I was wondering if i set the mdl_modules cron field to "0" if that would make it manually only? Do you have any experience with this?
Cheers.
correct. Set the "cron" field to zero in that table. But also remember to do it every time you update the module (because it is set to the valued defined in version.php during the upgrade). However, I would like to see if there is something we can improve in the cron performance here. Would you mind reporting two issues for me please? One for the ability to disable cron via settings, the other that would describe your problems with the current cron implementation. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for pinging me Elton. I just released the version v3.1 of the Subcourse module. Behat tests pass on both Moodle 2.8 and 2.9.
I translated in French. Here is the file : http://www.numerique.uha.fr/file/subcourse.zip
Thanks Alain for sharing your work! I submitted your strings via lang.moodle.org for review and inclusion into the French Moodle language pack. Once they are accepted by the French language pack maintainers, they will become available.
