Does not appear... on which course? Make them a teacher of each course where you want them to see that. Note! Don't make all teachers 'course creators'. Just create a course for them, and make them a teacher _in that course_. > Secondly, we have set up courses for each of six classes and are joining the > 250 students and their teachers to them as “teachers” and “students” Cool. that's the way :-) >.

Good too! > We want to allow teachers > to collaborate between each other as well, so I am thinking of creating a > “Teachers” course. Yes - perfect! You're getting the 'moodle way'. Create a "Teachers' Exchange" course, and in there make them all "teachers". > I have not enough experience with Moodle to know what to > expect – will there be any “cross over” issues (the best way I can describe > it) if teachers A and B are members of the Grade 3A and 4B courses > respectively, and then also both as members of “Teachers”. Each course its is own world -- you are doing it right. Moodle never asks "is this person a teacher?" or "is this person a student?". Moodle doesn't care. You are a teacher _in the context of a course_. You might be a student in another course ("how to use moodle")! A child might be "student" in a course, but an openminded teacher / "course creator" can setup a course where kids are setup with a "teacher" role and can do more things!
