Courses tool
The Courses tool default screen displays courses in the domain and allows you to:
- Search for courses in the domain (check the box to limit your search results to Active courses only). Filter the course list by course metadata.
- Use the New [plus sign] button to Create courses.
- Use the vertical menu in the toolbar to Import or Bulk update courses. To use Bulk update, first check the boxes next to the courses you want impacted.
- Select a Course ID to access the course screens (described below).
Active enrollments column
The Active enrollments column in Courses includes active student enrollments only. The numbers are updated daily and refresh periodically based on enrollment-related activity in the course, so very recent enrollment changes may not immediately appear.
To verify immediate updates, select the course and review its Enrollments screen.
Course Screens
Select a Course ID to access course screens:
- Details to review and edit course information.
- Enrollments to create, delete, import, search, update, and edit a course's enrollments.
- Subscribers to add, remove, search, and edit course subscribers.
- History to review changes made to courses.
Access Course
From this screen, you can also open the Main menu to access the following tools within the selected course:
Course Details screen
The course Details screen lets you edit a course's title, term (or school year if your domain has Grading Periods), external ID, whether you want it to be Public, and schedule type (date range or continuous).
When editing the course title, information should be added at the end of the course name. For example, with Accounting II (CL) 5.18D, you can add a name after, such as Ms. Green, but not at the beginning of the course title. Select the Home icon next to the Domain ID to go to the domain. Save your changes.
History
History allows admins to review changes made to courses.
- Compare the old and new values.
- Select Changes to see changed settings.
- Select Details to see current settings.
Bulk update
Pearson Connexus allows you to update certain course components in bulk. To do so, check the boxes for the courses you want to update and select Bulk update. From here you can:
- Update Field values allows you to directly change select fields in multiple courses at once.
- Apply Template settings allows you to create a template course that has the settings you want and apply them to multiple courses at once.
