Changing Section Titles
Blank course shells are loaded with a generic "Section 1, Section 2" label at the top of each topic section. Many instructors choose to teach their course week-by-week and thus, desire to update each topic section to reflect one week in the semester calendar.
Option 1: Using the Pencil Icon
Step 1: Toggle editing on.
Once the course is in edit mode, actionable links will appear in the course next to each topic, activity or resource within a topic.
Step 2: Click the Pencil icon next the topic.
Step 3: Type the new topic name in the text field and press the Enter key (or Return on a Mac) when finished.
