My school wants to have over 50 users per course so we are looking into the Institutional Public Site Manager. However, we want the courses (Middle School/High School) to remain private and only accessible by our students. Can this be done? If so, how?
It can be done. Courses are private by default. Affiliated teachers can affiliate a course, which allow the course to accept more than 50 students.
Hi patixa ~
Thank you for the reply.
I am confused, though, because a link that defines a "private course" says that no more than 50 can be enrolled.
So, theoretically, if my school is affiliated with iTunesU and I was affiliated with my school, I could have a course that has 100+ students enrolled and it could remain private, correct?
I saw the following on another posting, but, when I clicked on the link to private course, it said <50. (link: https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/help/#ituA07725BF-3F8D-4CD5-A9FE-80BB6483EA10)
Thank you - I appreciate any input you have.
I would say the help is wrong.
Having more than 50 students requires three things:
(Phew! So much affiliation!)
So, if your institution is not affiliated, an authorized representative of your school has to complete that first step before you can do anything else.
Just to clarify,
With those 3 things done, a course can be set to private and still allow >50 students, yes?
We are in the process of completing said application, but wanted to see if we could have, say, 112 students enrolled in a single private American History course.
Thanks.
Yes.
Patix, If you become affiliated with an institution the limits are removed for all existing or future courses in your account.
