Administering a courses main settings
From ClarolineDoc
Click on the title of the course you want to administer in My course list (i.e. the list of courses that is displayed after you logged in to the platform).
The course main page contains all the features visible to the students; however, additional options and two additional sections (Course settings and Statistics) are available for teachers on this page.
Only Course Managers are allowed to edit, disable or delete features on the course pages. The creator of the course page can give course manager privileges to any user who has enrolled in the course page (e.g. to additional lecturers, tutors, students with administrative responsibilities). To do so :
- Go to the Users tool.
- Click on the Edit sign (
) next to the user.
- Enable the Course Manager checkbox.
- Click OK to apply the change.
Edit the introduction text
At the top of the screen (Claroline 1.4.2) or to the right of the tools list (Claroline 1.5), you can see the introduction text for the course.
If you did not add an introductory text previously, you may do so now. If you already added an introductory text, you may change it whenever you like :
- Click on the Edit sign () to edit the current text.
- Do your edits and click OK to update the introduction text.
- Note : you can use HTML tags to add style to your text, e.g.<b>Bold text</b>.
- You can also use links (starting by "http://") or e-mail addresses (with@) that will be automatically recognized as clickable links.
- To delete the introduction text, click on
.
Modify the course access and enrolment settings
- Click on Course settings. You'll get a form that you can use to change the course main settings :
Course title, Course code, Lecturer, E-mail, Category, Department, Department url, Language, Course access, Enrolment.
- Course access and enrolment settings :
- Public access: everyone can access your course from the campus homepage, without being registered on the platform.
- Private access and Enrolment - Allowed: only the registered users (with a username and password) are allowed to register to your course.
- Private access and Enrolment - Denied: only the users with a username and password can access your course, but only if they have been previously registered to the course by the administrator or the course manager.
Tips: For more confidentiality, open the registration during one week, ask the students to register themselves and then close the registration. Check the users list and delete the possible unwanted users.
