I can do this by enrolling the student into the parent metacourse.
However, suppose I’m charging as one tuition for all three courses? In that case, I would like to be able to enrol a student in all the courses all at once. If I’m charging a separate tuition for each child course, this is exactly what I want. However, enrolling in a child course does not enrol a student into the other child courses it only enrols the student into that course and the parent metacourse. Whenever someone enrols in one of the child courses, they will automatically be enrolled in the Lounge. I would make the Lounge a metacourse, and designate each of the other courses as a child course. The Lounge would be a place where anyone taking an email course can socialize. In that case, I would create a fourth course, using the Social course format: Email Avalanche Lounge. Perhaps I’d like a place where any student in any of these courses can socialize and share information. For example, suppose my site offers several courses on managing email: A metacourse is a parent course that shares its enrolment with a list of child courses.
