Redirect course format
This course format redirects to courses that metalink the current one.
It is useful when you want to fuse various “source” courses into a “target” course and wants to do all the teaching in the “fused” one.
Usually the original courses need to be hidden from students and hence they are not browsable and  dificult to find. If the source courses are not hidden, teachers and students may get confused with all that courses.
By setting the source courses to “Redirect format” the original courses can be visible and browsable avoiding student confussion but they are transparently redirected to the target course.
If there is only one target course, students are redirected directly. If there are more than one, a navigation page is shown instead.
Current implementation only redirects to courses that have metalinked to this course.  More redirection conditions may be implemented in the future.
This plugin was developed and is being successfully used at the University of Valladolid, Spain.
