Courses (skeleton sites) are to be created either on an individual basis (on demand), or in a batch based on termcode. The batching feature should create a minimal skeleton of a site in order for our UC Davis providers to be activated. Providers being activated allows us to add rosters dynamically, and assign roles to users who log in. |
