What is a Metacourse?
A metacourse is a parent course that combines two or more sections in Canvas. If you are teaching more than one section of the same course, this allows you to deliver one copy of the course content to all the sections. The child sections handle enrollment, while the parent metacourse handles the content. The parent is the lowest CRN number listed.
Warning
The ATC cannot combine sections after students have submitted work without data loss. Ensure you submit the metacourse a few business days in advance of the term start and keep the highest CRN empty or hidden to prevent student submissions being made to the child courses.
Requesting a Metacourse
If you need a metacourse, please email atc@lanecc.edu and include the following information:
- The course registration number and title (e.g., HST 414: Intellectual History)
- The CRNs of ALL of the child sections you want to be included
- The term in which the course takes place
- If you would like automatically updating groups made for each CRN of students in the meta course.
