One of my most common and important processes with moodle

My customer mike makes a request like this "we have a couple enrollments for course xx, can you put a copy in teacher xx folder".  I snap into action and take the following steps.

Find the course

  1. Login to our backupmaster account
  2. Verify that we have the course (search for the title)
  3. Ensure it is not already deployed
  4. Verify if the course is already deployed in the instructors course

Restore the new course

  1. If not, restore a copy of the course into the teacher category
  2. Pay special attention to the course short name - as it is used to synch with our external system Genius - use the pattern coursename-teachername

After course is restored

  1. Manually enroll the teacher into the course in the teacher role
  2. Check the course settings - full and short name - copy the short name - verify the gradebook, assignment and quiz settings, according to our standard.
  3. If the gradebook not setup - follow standard to format it.
  4. If quizzes, assignments are not set up, run the php scripter script

Synch with external enrollment system

  1. Login to Genius and find the course - section
  2. Verify that the section lmsid matches the moodle course short name.
the end.
