After you have defined the Master Template settings, content, and created
assignments, you can create linked classes and assign instructors to these
classes (Fig. 7.77). A linked
class contains the same content and settings as the Master Template.
Both the administrator and the instructor assigned to the class will
receive a message in their ALEKS Message Center containing important
information about the linked classes.
To add linked classes:
In the Master Templates List, click on the name of
the template to view the Master Template Summary. Alternatively, you can
check the box next to the template and then click Class
Summary.
Locate the Linked Classes section and click Edit.
On the Create Linked Classes page, enter
the name of the Class CRN/Section and assign an instructor to the
individual linked class. (The name of the linked class will consist
of the name of the template plus the name of the CRN/Section.) There are
three options for the "Instructor"
field:
Existing ALEKS Instructor
Select this option and then use the drop-down menu to select the name
of the Instructor teaching the linked class.
Instructor to be announced (TBA)
Select this option if the name of the instructor is unknown. The linked
class can be assigned to an instructor at a later time
(Sec. 7.10.8).
Create a new Instructor
Select this option if the instructor does not have an existing ALEKS
account. Enter the title, first and last names, and e-mail address of
the instructor teaching the linked class. ALEKS will send an email
message containing login information to the instructor. If an email
address is not provided, the administrator will need to edit the instructor
account, change the password, and send it to the instructor at a later time
(Sec. 7.2.1).
A maximum of 15 linked classes can be created at a time. To add
more linked classes, repeat the steps.
Once saved, you will receive a confirmation and arrive at the Linked Class
List page with the linked classes that have been created. You can create
another linked class by selecting New Linked Class,
edit the linked classes by clicking on the CRN/Section name of each class,
or complete the Master Template set-up process by clicking I am
done creating linked classes.
NOTE. There is no limit on the number of linked classes you can associate
with a Master Template. The interface allows you to link up to 15 at a
time: to add more than 15 linked classes, just return to the Master
Template Summary page, locate the Linked Classes section, and select
Edit. On the Linked Class List page, select
New Linked Class.
