A new Add Section feature has been enabled in ELMS-Canvas course spaces created with the EMT (ELMS Management Tool) Create Organization option. This feature allows course space owners to create sections to which individuals enrolled as students can be assigned.
This option makes it possible to divide members of an organization space into discernible cohorts that can then be managed in terms of selective release of assignments, quizzes, announcement distribution and messaging.
It is a best practice to create sections before enrolling organization members in a course space; however, those in a student or participant role can be assigned to a section after the fact.
When adding members to an organization space that has sections, individuals who are enrolled as students should be assigned to a specific section.
Individuals who are enrolled as teachers, co-instructors, teaching assistants, designers and instructional colleagues are typically assigned to the course level (indicated by the course name in the Section listing).
If you add sections to an organization course space after students have already been enrolled, you can assign them to a section.
