Merging Rosters in ANGEL

1.) In order to merge courses, the “Toolbox” nugget needs to be enabled on the homepage of the person merging the courses.  Because this could be a very dangerous tool in the hands of our instructors, I’ve set access only to individuals with access rights of 16 or greater.  (Instructors currently have access rights of 8.)

2.) The person merging the courses needs to have Course Administrator rights to both courses, and the courses should be visible in the Courses nugget.

3.) The courses being merged need to be either empty or have a copy of the course materials exported and saved to a local drive because although the courses are being merged, the course contents are NOT being merged.

4.) Click on “Merged Roster Manager” in the “Toolbox” nugget to start the merge process.

5.) Select the courses to be merged.

6.)Configure the settings that you’d like to use for the course. (see at bottom of page)

• Merged Course Title (what are you calling this new course?)
• Classification codes (which course’s classification codes will you use?)
• Synchronization (when the rosters are updated, do you want to sync whenever students are added or dropped, or only when students are added?)
• Disable Source Courses (once courses are merged, do you want to disable the original courses?)
• Hide Source Courses from Editors (once courses are merged, do you want to hide the original courses from those with editor access?)
• User Rights (unless you don’t want anyone to have Editor rights, set the minimum at Student, the Maximum and Cap at “Course Editor”.
• Section Settings (by default, teams are created when a merged course is built, here you can set the names for the teams if you so desire).

7.) Click “Create Course”

8.) Once the course has been created, you’ll need to import the course materials from the Master Courses or from a exported archive files.

9.) That’s it!
