Description

Creating good content for your courses’ Scholar pages takes a lot of work.  If you teach multiple sections of a course, or teach the same course multiple times, creating the content each semester could seem daunting.  Luckily, there are several tools to combine your Scholar course shells and to copy content from one course to another.  This course will cover the course merge and copy processes, as well as the advantages and limitations of each tool.
