Clicking on Create a New Master Template displays the following basic settings:

Master Template Basic Information

• Select the ALEKS Course Product for the template. The ALEKS Course Product should not be changed after the class has begun, as doing so will be disruptive to the students' learning and to the class reports and records.
• The Master Template is required to have a name; this name can be the name appearing in your institution's course catalogue or anything else you wish. The Master Template name will be a part of the linked courses' names.
• Course Dates are used to configure the Course Calendar, and should include the entire period of time that the students will be using ALEKS. All linked courses created with this Master Template will have the same Start and End dates. The option to automatically archive the Master Template is also available in this step.

Course Specific Settings

These are specific settings that apply to this course template, such as providing ALEKS graphing calculator functionality.
