Do you want to combine your course(s) in KV?

Wednesday, September 02, 2009

Posted by

If you teach multiple sections of a course you can have all your sections combined into one KnightVision course. Please consider the following before making this request:

  • The Gradebook will contain all students from all sections of your course.
  • This feature is based on professor not on course. All like courses for a professor will be combined. Thus, a professor teaching the following four courses will have two KnightVision courses generated for the Fall.

  • - engl-101a
    - engl-101b
    - engl-231a
    - engl-231b

    Combined:
    - engl-101ab
    - engl-231ab

  • When you choose the options to combine all sections of your course it combines all future sections for like courses as well. If you decide you no longer want KnightVision courses combined please fill-out the form again and request this be discontinued.

Please use the online form Combining sections of a course in KnightVision for making this request.
