Working with the Staging Area in Moodle

New Staging areas are NOT created automatically and if you do not already have one you will need to submit a ticket to OLET and request one and we’ll create for you both the Staging Area space in your respective department as well as an empty Sandbox Course for you to start with.

Create additional Sandbox or DEV courses

Once you have a staging area of your own you can create new, empty course shells in addition to your default Sandbox course there. Courses made here should still follow course naming conventions and may still be removed if they’re more than 1.25 years old (you can prevent this by modifying your course to update the long and short names of these Moodle courses to reflect their recent or intended duration.)

You can also create one and manually enroll another CCC student or staff member in that course to help or feedback with development and testing.
