I teach 5 sections of oral English with each section's classes being almost identical. In the past I have created a separate class for each section and had a class called "library" to share common items like "midterm review" and "midterm" This was a little troublesome because each aspect of each class had to be redone 5 times, i.e. 5 different calendars, etc. Can someone give me some suggestions on how to set this up for the new semester?
Hi Tom. Terminology question -when you say "class" you mean group of students? Or do you mean a course in Moodle-speak? I am asking because it seems to me that if you have the same or very similar materials that are used by several different groups of students then they can all share the same Moodle course - and you can split them up by using Moodle's group and - if needs be - Groupings features. No need to duplicate courses. You can use the same calendar and add group events just for each separate group of students.
