The Course Management Tool allows users to copy one or more courses simultaneously into the District Domain.
Using the Course Management Tool
-
Log in to the District Domain as an Administrator, then select the Admin app.
-
Select the Course Management tool from the Main menu.
-
Courses are limited to a single subscription. Pearson does this to ensure our customers copy down our national or state courses. Filtering the available content by subscription takes the guess work out of it. Courses can also be located by using a text search, if desired. After selecting the filters, select List Courses.
- At the top of the page, a confirmation of the filters selected and a list of the courses available to copy displays. Only the courses that do not already exist in the District Domain display in the results. This tool will only allow the first copy of a master course, it will not include any courses already copied into the domain. If a course in the district domain has an enrollment added, then that course will appear back in the Course Management Tool to be available for another section to be created. All courses are selected by default; deselect unwanted courses. Select Next when the course selection is finalized.
- A summary of the filters displays the total courses selected and a set of options to apply for all courses. The defaults can be changed and will apply to all courses copied.
-
At this point, you can copy courses with the above settings only or apply additional course settings to all the courses being copied.
To copy with only these settings, select Copy Courses.
To apply additional course settings, open the View more settings options. Applying these setting during the initial course copy process can save admins from having to apply a template or manually update each course’s settings individually. Passing score, objective mastery threshold, minimum score for formative and remediation assessments default to 70%. Set these to your program’s passing score threshold.
If you plan to repeat this process, select Save my settings before copying to retain your selections on the next set of courses. If using this option, be aware that the selections will only be applied when the panel is open. If the additional setting view is collapsed, they will not be applied in the course copy process.
Note: Any changes made in additional settings can increase the copy time. If you run into timeouts with a large course list, reduce the number of courses and retry the process.
- Select Copy Courses. After the courses are copied, the Home button allows you to go back to the first page and copy more courses for another subscription, if desired.
- If a course(s) could not be copied, error messaging will appear on the confirmation page. The messaging will include the number of courses that fail, the course IDs that failed, and error message. The possible error messages are:
- Generic error message for the failed course: "We couldn't copy the course this time. Please try again or contact support if the issue persists."
- Access denied error message for failed course (meaning the user is not allowed to copy the course): "We couldn't copy this course. Copying of this course is restricted. Please try again or contact support if the issue persists."
Up to 10 courses will appear on the confirmation page. A Show All link will appear for any additional courses. An Excel spreadsheet will be generated if the number is too large to display.
