When and how are courses created in Moodle?
Answer
Moodle course containers are created in two ways: manually and automatically. Automatically created course containers are for "regular" courses at Whittier, those courses that students register for as part of the regular registration process. When courses are cross-listed, Moodle creates a container for the "master" course. The Moodle team can manually create course containers on an "as requested" basis for needs outside of "regular" courses.
