Help: Course settings

Course settings allows you to manage the global parameters of your course : Title, code, language, name of teachers etc.

The options situated in the middle of the page deal with confidentiality settings : is the course public or private? Can students register to it? You can use these settigs dynamically : open registration during one week > ask your students to register > close access to registration > remove possible intruders through the Users list. This way you keep control of who is in byt you don't have the administrative hassle of registrating them yourself.

At the bottom of the page, you can Backup the course and delete it. Backup will create a file on the server and allow you to copy it on your own Hard Disk locally. So that there will be 2 backups of it in different places. If you backup a course then delete it. You will not be allowed to restore it yourself but the system administrator can do this for you if you give him/her the code of your course. Backuping a course is also a good way to get all your documents back onto your own computer. You will need a tool, like Winzip® to UNZIP the archive. Note that backuping a course does not remove it in any way.
