Teaching multiple sections of the same course? Don't want to have to post course materials multiple times in multiple AsULearn course sites? Done this before, but heard about our new 'Metagroup Sync' tool and want to use it? Attend this webinar and learn to use the "course meta link" to combine enrollments from multiple sections or courses into ONE AsULearn course site, while still being about to sort your grade book by section, and send announcements to separate sections if needed, and use group overrides to control release times of the same activities based on section (group). Typically, we take a volunteer and completely walk through the setup, and all can follow along and do their own setup as we go. Hopefully, everyone is all set by the end!

This professional development session will be conducted entirely in a Zoom meeting. Thanks!

Vision: This group is intended to be a support network for staff with kids birth to eight years old. It can be challenging to work full-time and parent full-time, so let’s support each other as we chug along on this journey. We hope that this group offers an opportunity for members to share their experiences, recommend resources, celebrate milestones, commiserate about the challenges, and build relationships with other staff who are parents of young children. We hope that this group allows for community building among staff that are in the trenches of dirty diapers, tantruming toddlers, kids learning to read, and never ending laundry. This group is supportive of Queer and non-traditional family types and all parent (or kid) gender identities and expressions.

Intended Audience: Staff members with children between the ages of birth to 8 years.
