Manage course groups

Updated 27 Sep 2023

In most courses, you can use course groups to manage multiple sections of the same course.

If your school uses EasyBridge Plus/Auto with MathXL for School, see Push assignments to multiple courses.

A course group contains:

• A coordinator course - The master course used as the template for all the courses in the course group. Students do not enroll in coordinator courses.
• Member courses - Copies of the coordinator course that are linked to the coordinator and are used to teach each section in the course group. Students enroll in the member courses.

To manage all the member sections in a course group, the owner of the coordinator course edits the coordinator course. Changes to the coordinator course automatically apply to its member sections and override any customizations in the members. Changes to a member course do not affect other courses in the course group.

To set up course groups, see:

• Set up course groups in MyLab and Mastering (MLM)
• Set up course groups in MathXL and MathXL for School
• Set up course groups in a learning management system (LMS)

For details on instructor and section instructor roles, see:

• Roles in course groups

Limitations

Settings for learning applications that deliver questions outside the MyLab Player may not be inherited from the coordinator course and must be copied into the member sections manually. For example, Learning Catalytics modules and writing assignment dates are not inherited by the member sections.
