Re: delete a course

Have you looked at the documentation link provided by Mary C? Or the links above that? And it is still not deleting? If so, then are you an Admin of that Moodle? If not, then you will need to talk to an Admin. If you are then the only other way I know of deleting a course is by accessing it directly in the database.

Block Description

The course management block was developed to increase site administrator's productivity and reduce peak load on Moodle servers caused by the restoring of courses. The Course management block allows Moodle site administrators to schedule restores of courses at non-peak Moodle usage times.

Global Configuration Settings

To get to this block's global setting options, at the site page, click to 'Modules'>'Blocks'>'Course Management'. This screen provides 3 options for the block:

Choose a Restore File (No Metadata file)

Make sure you are on the site home page, then click on the 'Schedule Bulk Restore' link to start the bulk restore scheduling process .

Setup Restore Options (No Metadata file)

The final screen should be split up into 4 sections: 'Course Defaults', 'Restore Options', 'Role Mappings', and 'Cron Settings'. When a metadata file was not uploaded, most of these options will be available to you. If a metadata file was uploaded, most of these options will be preselected for you.

Choose a Restore File & Metadata CSV

Restoring a course with some metadata defined really only requires one extra step. You must upload a csv file with some requuired fields. The CSV File should look like the following:

View Restore Schedule

The View Restore Schedule option on the Course Management block allows the user with appropriate capabilities to view, edit, process, view error details, and reschedule a restore. To get to this page from the site home-page, click on the View Restore Schedule link in the Course Management block.

Delete Multiple Courses

This feature provides an easy, searchable and sortable interface to select and delete multiple courses. You can filter courses by their parent Course Category, and further filter results with the search field, which will search the fullname of the course for a matching string.

Order of courses listed

The order in which courses are listed on the front page can be set by an administrator in Administration > Site administration > Courses > Manage courses and categories

Course contacts

An administrator can change who is displayed as a course contact in Administration > Site administration > Appearance > Courses .

Display extended course names

By default, only course full names are displayed in the list of courses. If you check this box, then the course short name will also be displayed. Enabling this will also allow you to edit the wording using Language customization. See the forum discussion Course Extended Name Display Language Modification for further details.

Courses per page

Here you can select how many courses you wish to be displayed per page in the course listing

Courses with summaries limit

When courses are listed, they show the full course summary. Displaying the full summary is very useful, but can make pages very long.

Course summary files limit and Course summary files extensions

Allows course managers to add files to the course. They will be accessible by anyone from outside of the course just like course name and/or summary. Only users with moodle/course:changesummary capability are able to upload/change course overview files. By default it is configured that course managers can add up to one image file to the course.

View all or only enroled courses in the course list

If you need to control whether all or only some users can see all available courses on the course list or only see the courses they have been enroled in, see how to do this on the Course list viewer role page.
