Just a note for the records about the groupings.

We're having a little trouble with separating classes between me and Rafa as each class has needed an entirely independent set of resources and quizzes and other things.

Although we initially had the idea that we were going to run the same course between us using groupings, this hasn't worked and hence we have settled for a template course, which contains shared resources. These are then copied to each course of our own using moodle's import function within the area of the class that we are teaching.

Planning ahead I would ideally like to find a way that all resources are put into this template class (we are calling them meta-classes at the moment but we're not sure if this term is quite correct) so that resources would be shared rather than developed independently by teachers in their own course and not seen by anyone else.

I see one of the strengths of moodle is it's ability to do act as a shared resource bank on which teachers can share and develop ideas and simultaneously test them in class, but if a strict template system is not adhered to there will be disarray with resources scattered far and wide.

Any ideas on this Rafa? Is it worth forcing import of resources at the expense of individual course development? I think that in a 2 person system our present system works fine, but looking ahead I worry that importing resources from a central bank may prove a little too complex, but I do think it's necessary, especially as teachers may not have access to each others courses directly
