What should I do? Point out to the participants that there are 4 options that can be to used to setup the first course. Briefly describe the options: • Create a New Course - lets you set up an empty course shell for the textbook you choose. You can create and add original assignments, and may also add publisher-provided assignments that have been created for your textbook. These assignments contain some of the best content available, selected by experienced instructors. • Copy One of My Courses (only an option if you already have a course created in Mastering) - lets you select from a list of your existing courses for the same Pearson product, and asks you whether to copy the assignment dates. See • Copy a Pre-Built Course (if available) - provides a list of textbooks and courses that have been created with assignments for the textbook you select. Click a Course Title to learn more about its design. • Copy Another Instructor's Course - Prerequisite: The course owner must first make the course available for copying and tell you the course ID. Only choose to copy assignment dates if you plan to use the same due dates that are already assigned in the course you are copying. Note to the Facilitator: For this training session choose Create a New Course to show the participants how this is done. When the participants are creating the real course for their system they may choose other options if they desire. If they are a new to Mastering, it is recommended that they Copy a Pre-Built Course if one is available for your course or copy another instructor’s course from your department. You can also copy pre-built assignments. The pre-built courses and assignments contain questions recommended for new users. If you do, make sure that you preview and edit assignments to match your course objectives.

Multiple Section Setup? Pose the question, “How many of you will be teaching more than one section of the same course?” Explain to the participants that there are various ways that the instructor could set this system up and these decisions should be made before they create their course. You can then create groups and organize students into groups to represent each section. First, you could create one course and let all students from all sections enroll in this course. Once the enrollment process has been completed you can make groups within the class for each section you teach. This will allow you to view grades and export data by class, but it also provides you with the convenience of having all of your students in one course. When you need to add content, move due dates, and so on, you only have to do this in one course. The other option is to create multiple Mastering courses – one for each section. If this is your choice you might want to consider establishing one course first then copying that course. Once a course is copied, it works independently from the other courses so any corrections or additions must be made in each course. Which ever setup is used the initial course is setup in the same way. Record Course ID
