Figure 7.16: Getting Started

Selecting the purple "Master Templates" folder from the Selector window and clicking the "Home" tab displays the "Create Master Template" option (Fig. 7.15).

Clicking this action will give you two options to create a Master Template (Fig. 7.16). From the introductory page, you can choose to:

• Create a Master Template from scratch. This option allows you to customize your own course settings and assignments. Click "Continue" to "Define Template Basics" (Sec. 7.19.3).
• Create a Master Template based on an existing course at your institution. This timesaving option allows you to copy all course settings and assignments from the existing course into the new Master Template. Click "create a Master Template based on an existing course" to start the process (Sec. 7.19.7).

Creating a Master Template is a three-part process. After the Master Template is created, Administrators can view it under the purple Master Templates folder in the Selector window. The template is listed as ALEKS Course / Master Template Name.
