About Sections

The Manage Sections tool lets you divide your class into sections to 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 other users in 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 Manage Groups tool.

Access the Sections tool

Do one of the following to access the Sections tool:

• Click Sections on the navigation bar
• Click Edit Course on the navigation bar, and selecting Sections from the list of course admin tools
• Click Sections on the Course Administration widget

Note  The Has Sections option must be selected for your course offering. Contact your site administration about turning on this option.
