Viewing Your Courses
The first time you view your courses, you should click the Courses menu then select My Courses.
Your current year courses will be shown under the Current button/section.
Sections are named by the period that they meet. Example: 4(A) is Fourth Period.
Linking Your Sections Together
Important information about linking sections
Before linking sections, make sure you understand these important items:
Linking sections deletes all content from the “child” sections. Link sections before adding content!
All sections to be linked must be:
All sections of the same course (e.g. can’t link Honors and non-Honors sections).
All sections in the same grading period (e.g. can’t link sections of the same course that meet in different semesters).
If you decide to unlink your sections mid-year, please contact Technology before proceeding.
How to Link Sections
Click your Courses drop-down menu and and select See All.
In your list of courses, click the gear icon to the right of the section you consider to be the "master section". If you have materials in both courses, the "master section" is the one that holds the materials and grades you would like to continue to use between the two sections.
Select Link Existing Sections from the drop-down.
Select (check) the section(s) to link.
Click Link Sections.
A warning message displays that says :
“You are about to link the following sections to [Section Name]. Note: Materials from these sections will not be copied into [Section Name]. Once complete, the sections will share grade setups, materials and the profile of the destination section, however, member enrollments will still belong to their respective sections”.
This means that the section for which you clicked the gear icon will be the master section - the linked sections will now all have access to and use the materials in that master section. This includes Course Materials and items in your Grade Setup (such as Grading Categories, Rubrics, etc). However, the original rosters of students when the sections were separate will remain the same after you link the sections.
Click Link Sections.
Error linking sections
If any of the prerequisites are not met, the other section(s) will be grayed out. If you hover your mouse over the grayed-out section, you will see a tooltip explaining the root cause of the issue.
