Create Sections from a Course Master

You can create multiple course sections from a course master. Each section will use the course master content and settings.

Course masters are not available for US institutions. To create a multisection course, see Create a Multisection Course.

Course masters are not available in K-12 courses. To copy a K-12 section, see Copy Course (NGLSync).

You must either have created a course master or have the course key of another instructor's course master.

    • If you change the course dates for a section, activity due dates that are before the section starts or after the section ends are not copied. Those activities are copied to the learning path without due dates.
    • The owner of the course master is always listed as the primary instructor, but you can add secondary instructors or TAs.
  10. Click Create Course Sections.

Your course sections are created.

To create more than 25 sections, repeat this process to create the additional sections you need.

If needed, edit the learning path for individual sections after creating them.
