Complete the following steps once your course shell for the new term is available in your LMS.
1. Follow your institution’s process for copying your course. Be sure to include all content and links in your course to copy over.
If you need assistance with this step, please reach out to your LMS administrator.
2. Once your content has been copied into the new course shell, click on any one of the Science Interactive lesson links.
Clicking on the link to open the lesson will trigger the course copy in SI Lab Portal and complete the course copy process. This will also assign you as the instructor of record for the course.
You can confirm the course copied correctly by the newly generated course title with the following naming convention:
If you are creating to courses on behalf of an instructor, please impersonate that instructor in the LMS before clicking on the lesson link. This will ensure that the proper instructor of record is assigned.
3. In SI Lab Portal, set the Start and End dates for the newly copied course.
The start date controls when students can begin enrolling in the course and ordering their kits. Without this, the connection from the course to the purchasing site is not created. For step by step instructions, see How to Set Course Start and End Dates in SI Lab Portal.
4. Assign additional instructors or TAs as needed.
Additional instructors and TAs will automatically be enrolled into your course under the same permissions they have in your LMS when they click on any SI Lab Portal lesson link.
5. Complete the Course Set Up Checklist (Recommended)
We recommend all instructors complete all steps in the Course Set Up Checklist to ensure a smooth start to each semester.
