Scenario 1: E-Pack
1. Add your admin id as a course designer to CISM 2201. Also add to course
designers any of the faculty who you want to be able to edit the template before
assigning it to the sections. Don't add anyone who you only want to modify at
the section level. See #6 in the step-by-step directions for instructions on how
to enroll a designer.
2. I would "move" the template since it looks like it is at the ABAC institution
learning context instead of copying it. the "move " icon is right next to the
copy icon to the far right of the template name. Click on the "template Manager"
tab and locate the template you want to move. Click the "move" icon and in the
window, navigate to the CISM 2201 course and click the save button.When the
editor and ownership screen, select whoever you added as a course designer who
would be in charge of this template and the template owner and add the rest as
allowed editors. Click save. Be patient as this may take up to 1 ½ hours to
complete.
3. Once the template has completed the move, go back to the "Learning Context
Manager" tab. Navigate to the CISM course and click the "templates" tab. Now
click the "Associate Template" button and select the correct CISM 2201 template.
4. If you have finished editing the template, you are now ready to "Assign" the
template to your sections. Click on each section name and click the "Templates
tab. click the assign template button and select the correct template for the
section. Save and be patient again as this will take a while depending on how
large the ePack is.
Log in using your admin id and add the faculty and yourself to the course
(not section) as designers. Then go to your template manager and navigate to the
course. You should see an "Import template" button.
Click that and then upload and select the epack from your file manager.
You will see several screens including one to rename the template. I recommend
that you do making sure you put the instructors name and a timestamp in the
name. You will also come to a screen that allows you to add editors. You will
want to add the instructor. Otherwise they will have problems editing any of the
files if you add them later.
