By default, when the local Moodle administrator sets up your course as a cross-listed set, the child sections are invisible to the students. Anyone enrolled in one of the child sections sees only the parent meta-course where you as instructor put up content that is shared among all the students in the cross-listed set.
Moodle allows you to make a child section visible to students enrolled in that section, which allows you to put up content that pertains only to that section.
For example, suppose CSE 489-04 meets together with CSE 589-07 under the course title “Tagging for Professionals” . After the local Moodle administrator sets up this cross-listed set, any student enrolled in either child section sees only the parent meta-course.
However, let's suppose that those enrolled at 500 level get additional assignments. In that case, the instructor can make the 589-07 section visible only to the students enrolled under that number, and put the additional assignments up as content in that section. Here is the procedure for making a child section visible.
Procedure 1. Making a metacourse child section visible
Login to Moodle. You will see a list of all your courses, both child sections and meta-courses.
Click on the link to the child section you wish to make visible.
On the left-hand side, under Administration, click on .
Scroll down to the section labeled Availability. Pull down the menu labeled and select .
At the bottom of this page, click .
After you have done this, any content that you place into the child section will be visible to the students that have enrolled under that child section's CRN.
