Sorry for the late reply Stephen .. I think the best way to handle this is to set up a separate moodle domain and permit guest access and or authentication by e-mail as a default. We operate one like this for an alumni group, rather like how it was done at Vermont SC (turns to salute the efforts of Donald Hew). Our alumni students could not of course login via a school network account but manage this themselves with their own 'public' e-mail accounts. Kind of keeps it tidy and away from the in-house school Moodle courses.

He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would

Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how
violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be
torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that
