If you are hosting a course on the DLC, here are a few important reminders!
As other campuses secure seats in your course, new campus-specific course shells will appear in Canvas. Eventually, you’ll want to merge these sections so all of your students are in one course shell. That ensures that your merged course will be updated via LionPath when students from merged courses add or drop the course.
ONE IMPORTANT REMINDER – When you merge courses, all content is lost from the merged course. To avoid that, you can simply work on your courses now in a master course (link below), do the merge as it gets closer to start, and copy the materials from the master into the merged course.
Once the initial merge is completed, you can add new sections to the merge without the content being deleted. This deletion only happens in the initial merge. With all the changes happening, my suggestion would be to safely get your course built in a master course and just hold tight until closer to the start, when you want to start communicating with students via Canvas.
