Getting started with coordinated (multi-section) courses

A coordinated course contains a template or "coordinator" section that is used to manage the course across multiple child or "member" sections.

1. Member sections can be created and shared with different instructors, streamlining the process of managing a coordinated course with a large teaching staff. See Creating and sharing a member section in a coordinated course.
2. Changes made to course content (assignments and assignment items) in the coordinator section can be published, which propagates the changes to all member sections. See Managing assignment content in a coordinated course.
3. Each member section has its own student roster, and the instructor can override a number of assignment settings, including availability. See (video) Managing a member section of a coordinated course as an instructor.
4. Students can be easily transferred between sections with their work and grades intact.

Integrating a coordinated course with your LMS

If you plan to use a coordinated course in conjunction with LMS integration (Canvas and Blackboard only), it is important to set up your course properly. Please see the following additional articles:
