Formerly, when a course is created and the visible setting is set to hide, a staff member had to manually make the course visible.
The process of identifying which courses should be made visible and then opening the courses to students can be tedious and error-prone.
Surprisingly, there is no core functionality in Moodle to automatically make courses visible to students at the appropriate time. This plug-in provides that functionality.
Its operation is straightforward: Once a day, it checks the course table to determine which courses, if any, are scheduled to start that day.
It then makes those courses visible, and sends a report by email to one or more administrators. Any problems are reported to the site administrator by email.
We will like to give this plugin to the community.
