SIS Course Merge enables instructors to simplify course management by merging multiple IPSIS-processed courses into one parent course offering. The tool enhances course management efficiency and simplifies content delivery, by keeping Classlist and section-specific tools separate while maintaining a unified course structure. This enables teachers to deliver tailored instruction to different sections while efficiently managing administrative tasks associated with enrollment and grading.
