1.  If we can have the orientations be an academic course of linked to one, we can operate like we used to in UMConnect and register participants.  How do we go about this?  What academic course could we attach this to?  

06/28/2010- working with Emily Mraz and Sarah Groskreutz to get current appropriate LAC staff assigned as instructors to these courses so we can use them to manage participant registration in Moodle.

ANSWER - can't change/use instructors.  There's no one course or small number of courses that all participants "take".  Moreover, the timing of assigning the courses happens too late for orientation. (via Sarah Groskreutz)

2.  How many LAC orientations should be in Moodle?  

3.  How to deal with different terms of participants?  Groups?  Sections?  New Course?
