Meta courses allow you to bring participants in multiple courses together. For instance, if an institution has an area of teaching with multiple courses taught inside it, it may be useful to bring the participants of courses in that teaching area together into another 'meta' course, which allows them to communicate and interact together in matters that involve everyone in that area. The same could apply to year levels or discipline groupings. Another application of meta courses is for classes that occur over more than one teaching period, with each period having a separate Moodle course.
A meta course can bring together multiple 'child' courses and a course can be a child of multiple 'meta' courses.
