This is called when a request is being made for an official course. |
|
A check is made that the institutional code for which a course is |
|
is being requested is valid according to the institutional |
|
schedule of official classes. |
|
|
|
If the username of the course owner is provided, a more restrictive |
|
test is used, namely that the requestor is listed as instructor of |
|
record for the course in the institution's course schedule/database. |
|
|
|
A valid instcode is confirmed by returning 'valid'. |
|
In the case of a check for the instructor of record, the following can |
|
be returned: |
|
(a) valid - the requestor is the recorded instructor - create the course |
|
(b) reject - the requestor should never be requesting this course, reject the |
|
request permanently |
|
(c) pending - the requestor is not the recorded instructor, but could |
|
become so after administrative action at the institution. Put the |
|
request ina queue and check localenroll:validate_instcode() |
|
periodically until the status changes to "valid". |
|
(d) approval - the request will be held pending review by a Domain Coordinator. |
|
(e) error (followed by the error condition); |
|
|
|
validate_instcode takes five arguments - |
|
(a) the LON-CAPA domain that will contain the course |
|
(b) the institutional code (in the MSU case this is a concatenation of |
|
semester code, department code, and course number, e.g., fs03nop590. |
|
(c) an optional institutional username for the course owner. |
|
(d) an optional comma-separated list of institutional affiliations of |
|
the course owner. |
|
(e) an optional comma-separated list of institutional sections included in |
|
the course request |
