If your course is cross-listed in multiple departments or
under multiple course numbers, be sure to specify this
when the course is first created. To request a
cross-listed course, send an email to <cms_master@nmt.edu>.
Specify these items:
The overall course title for the cross-listed set.
For each child section, the department, course number, section, and CRN.
For example, the course entitled “Introduction to Programming” is cross-listed as CSE 113 and IT 113. In the fall of 2010, CSE 113-01 was CRN 24039 and IT 113-01 was CRN 24043. For this case, the Moodle administrator will create three “courses” under Moodle:
Each CRN gets its own child section. In Moodle, these are usually invisible to the students registered in them.
Students will see what Moodle calls a meta-course or parent course named “Introduction to Programming.” This is where you should put all the content that is shared among the child sections.
A meta-course does not have enrollments of its own; anyone enrolled in a child section is automatically a member of the parent meta-course.
Initially, the cross-listed course will be set up so none of the students even see the section they are enrolled in. They will see only a link to the parent meta-course, so put your Moodle content here and not in the child sections.
However, in some situations you as an instructor might wish to put up different material that pertains only to certain sections. For that case, see Section 4.4, “Cross-listing with different content for different sections”.
