Sections

What are sections?

Sections are classes you can use to group your students. For example, you can teach your Medical Terminology Online course at 8 am and then have another class at 4 pm. Set up two different sections to differentiate between your students.

Different sections can view different announcements, but other settings like calendar events, announcements and content visibility will apply to all sections that are part of the same course instance.

Create a new section

• To create a new section, follow these steps:

1. Log into your Dean Vaughn instructor dashboard

2. Go to your Course Admin page, then to Sections.

3. Click on Add Sections.

4. When a new box pops up, create a section name and a section code.

5. Save changes.

What is the section code for?

• A section code is an identifier (code) you will use to enroll your students in bulk. While you are setting up your enrollment spreadsheet, make sure to include the correct section code. This will allow the system to place your students into the right section.

Move a student into a different section

• Once you have enrolled your students, you can always move them into a different section. Here's how you can do that:

1. Log into your instructor account.

2. Go to Course Admin - Sections.

3. Click on 'Enroll users'.

4. This will open a new window, where you can view all your students and sections. To move a student into a different section, simply check the box next to their name.
