Subcourse module for Moodle
This Moodle module provides very simple yet useful functionality. When added into a course, it behaves as a graded activity. The grade for each student is took from a final grade in another course. Combined with metacourses, this allows course designers to effectively organise courses into separate units.

Installation
Please follow https://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_plugins#Installing_a_plugin for the general instructions on how to install Moodle plugins.
When installing from uploaded ZIP package or via Git, the "subcourse" directory is expected to be place under the "/mod" directory of your Moodle installation.
Usage
- Create a main course and one or few other courses that should act as a sub-courses of the main course.
- Into the main course, add a new instance of the Subcourse activity module for each of the referenced course (sub-course) to fetch grades from.
- Enrol students into all courses (the main one as well as the referenced ones).
- Let students receive the final grades in the referenced courses.
- Check that the final grade in the referenced courses now appears as the grade for the Subcourse activity in the main course.
