Here's a sample message for informing a user of account creation if you'd like to provide email confirmation of account creation. I use it mostly for external users. Note the part where there's a course created for them is also for external users who want to try out OERca. We create a course for them to provide a sandbox to which they can upload whatever they want in order to test out decomp and play around in general.

Dear &lt;user's name&gt;, Thanks for requesting an OERca account. I have created a course specifically for your testing and have also given you access to a pre-populated test course. You can learn more about OERca at http://open.umich.edu/wiki/OERca and can view the shiny new screencasts at https://open.umich.edu/wiki/OERca_Screencasts

Please join the OERca google group at http://groups.google.com/group/oerca if you'd like to share your thoughts and also know about new stuff, and hear what others have to say about it.

Optional for non-UM people You will need to create a UM Friend account to authenticate to the system using the email address at which you have received this message. You can create a Friend account at https://friend.weblogin.umich.edu/friend/

&lt;Salutation of your choice&gt;, &lt;name of sender&gt;
