Course section templates are master course sections that Professional Learning uses to generate copied sections. Each course in Schoology has a course name, section name, and a unique section school code. The section school code is how Professional Learning identifies which template to use when creating new sections.
Before building templates, determine:
-
The number of master templates desired.
-
The purpose of each template, such as a course topic.
-
A unique section school code for each template.
Document your template list in a table or spreadsheet for reference. For example:
|
Template name |
Section school code |
Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
FERPA Privacy |
FERPA-2019-20 |
Template for all student privacy PD sections. |
|
Digital Citizenship |
DIGCIT-2019-20 |
Template for all Digital Citizenship PD sections. |
