For more information about discussion and the abilities available - to you as a course coordinator, such as banning abusive users or - hiding discussion postings, please see link.

+

If you do not wish certain types of users to be able to use the + discussion features, select those types below. Note your class + may not have all of these roles; you may safely ignore roles you + do not intend to use. (For instance, "Exam Proctor" is + generally useful only for large courses.)

If you like, limited HTML can be allowed in the course discussions.

+

HTML can be allowed or banned inside of course discussion.

HTML banned: HTML will not be allowed in discussion postings.

+ + + + Course members can provide feedback about the course. You can choose + who will receive the feedback, such as a different instructor or a + TA. Please enter their LON-CAPA address below, in the + form user:domain, where "user" and "domain" + are both the LON-CAPA username and LON-CAPA domain, not an email + address.

+
+ return &mt('

Your current LON-CAPA domain is "[_1]".

Advanced: You can send the feedback from different sections + to different people, by doing the following:

+ +
  • Separate each entry with a comma.
  • +
  • To send feedback to a certain address for different sections, + append the section name or names (separated by semi-colons) + in a parenthesized list after the user:domain.
+ +

For example,

+ +

john102:msu(001;002;003),bob293:msu(004;005;006),madeupname:here(007;008;009)

+ +

will route course feedback to "john102" for sections 1, 2, and 3, to + "bob293" for 4, 5, and 6, and to "madeupname:here" for + 7, 8, and 9. Note there is no requirement that the addresses be in any + particular domain.

+
+
+ + + Your course is now set up. Please select the Finish Course + Initialization button to re-intialize the course with your chosen + settings. + +

Remember that all of these settings can be modified in the PARMS + screen, by pushing the Course Environment button.

+
+ + $env{'course.'.$env{'request.course.id'}.'.clonedfrom'} + After you select Finish Course Initialization, + you will be taken to the Parameter Overview screen to + update the dates for this cloned course. + + +
