Introduction:
Course merges are only recommended when an instructor has been assigned to teach multiple course sections. All sections included in the merge will have the same course content, gradebook, and due dates/times.
Note: It is strongly recommended course merges be performed before any student submissions have been received or any grades have been entered. Ideally, course merges will be done before the semester starts.
Process:
- 1. Submit a COLTT Help Desk ticket.
- 2. Provide the required course information(indicate the parent course section and child course section(s)) to merge your courses.
- 3. Our Support Team will inform you once courses have been merged in the LMS.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- • When merging courses in Brightspace, class rosters are kept in separate sections(Section A, Section B, etc.). If you want all the students from the different course sections to interact, you must create a cross-section group with members of all the merged sections so that users can see and interact with all learners.
- • Child courses are set as inactive by default when you do a course merge. Only instructors will be able to see inactive courses.
- • We do not recommend unmerging courses after the semester starts, as you may lose data.
