Figure 6.25: Basic Information
Administrator accounts can assign the course to another instructor when setting up the course.
The course is required to have a name; this name can be the name appearing in your institution's course catalogue or anything else you wish (Fig. 6.25). The Section Name is optional. Including the term and year in the section name makes it easier to keep track of ALEKS courses over time (e.g., "F 2011"). The ALEKS Course is the course product that will be used for the course (e.g., "Accounting Cycle"). This should not be changed after the course has begun unless absolutely necessary, as doing so will be disruptive to the students' learning and to the course reports and records. Other values on this page can usually be changed without disruption.
The Course Dates are used to configure the Course Calendar, and should include the entire period of time that the students will be using ALEKS. Instructors can also check the box "Automatically archive this course after the end date" to automatically archive the course following the selected course End Date (Sec. 6.1.7).
