Create Linked Classes

Figure 7.21: Create Linked Classes
Part 3 of the Master Template creation process is Create Linked Classes. A linked class contains the same content and settings as the Master Template. Once a linked class is created, all existing class settings and assignments from the Master Template will be applied to the linked class. Both the Administrator and the instructor assigned to the class will receive a message in their ALEKS Message Center (Inbox) containing important information about the linked classes.
To start adding linked classes, from the introductory page of Part 3, click on the "Create Linked Classes" button (Fig. 7.21).
On the "Assign Instructor to 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 at another time (Sec. 7.19.11).

Create a new Instructor
Select this option if the instructor does not have an existing ALEKS account. Enter the title, first and last name, 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 another time (Sec. 6.6.15).
A maximum of 15 linked classes can be created at a time. To add more linked classes, click the "Create another Linked Class" button. Click the "Save" button to finish creating the new linked class(s).
NOTE. There is no limit on the number of linked classes you can associate with a Master Template. To add more than 15 linked classes, you must return to the Master Template Summary screen by selecting "Edit Master Template."
At the end of Part 3, you will see a confirmation page with the linked classes created in the Master Template. You can create another linked class, edit the linked classes, or complete the Master Template set-up process by clicking "I am done creating linked classes."
