Options for sections

Sascha.D.705

Is it possible in Brightspace to teach a course for several years and make a subdivision with sections per year, per period, per class. The content of the course is unchanged. The announcements, assignments, quizzes etc will change. It is possible to work with 1 course instead of creating a new course per year/period.

Hello Sascha,

Thank you for contacting us via Brightspace Community!

It is certainly possible to have a course that can be re-used per year/period. If you would like to re-use a course, you can always unenroll the students no longer taking that course and enroll new students in to the course. Creating a section per year wouldn't be necessary.

If the instructors teaches multiple sections of the same class in a particular period (e.g 20 students in Section A and 25 students in Section B of the same course), then you can certainly create sections for Section A and B. When the period is over, you can unenroll the students from the course and sections and re-enroll the new students for the upcoming periods.

For more information on sections, I would highly recommend reading our documentation on Sections: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3340-about-groups-and-sections#about-sections and the Considerations when setting up Sections: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3340-about-groups-and-sections#considerations-when-setting-up-sections.

I hope this information helps.

Best regards,
Abrar
