password (enrolment key) on the course then any students on your
Moodle could enroll and take a look around. That might be fine if
you have an “open door” policy to your course – but in the
real world, I wouldn’t expect extra students to come in and join my
Advanced Level French class, and so the same might apply in Moodle.
Likewise, although my colleague and I share teaching resources and
experiences, we don’t actually mark each other’s students’ work

Moodle. If more than one class is sharing a Moodle course,
it’s important that the classes are on different pages of the
grade book rather than everyone all listed together.
