About Sections

Use the Manage Sections tool to divide your class into sections and help manage large enrollments. Sections make it easier to organize assistants, assignments, and grades.

When sections exist for a course, users only see learning materials and users from their own section. If you want users to see all users and content for a course, but be a part of a group for a specific project or activity, use the Groups tool.

Access the Sections tool

Do one of the following:

• Click Sections in the Course Administration widget.
• Click Edit Course on the navbar, then click Sections from the Learner Management section on the Course Administration page.

Note  You must select Course has sections on the Course Offering Information page to make the Sections tool available for your course. Contact your site administration about enabling this option if you cannot access Sections. See Enabling sections for your organization for more information.
