The purpose of a Section Group is to allow the Instructor to share Lesson Plans with as many Sections as necessary without having to copy the Lesson Plans to each Section. You will name the Section Group, and then assign the Assignment Types that are to be used in the Lesson Plan for each Section Group.
Note: If you have Section Groups created, but a Section is NOT assigned to a group whenever you access Lesson Plans, the Application will take you to the Assign Sections to Groups Tab. However, if all sections have been assigned to a group whenever you access Lesson Plans, the application will take you to the Manage Lesson Plans Tab.
To access Manage Section Groups, click the Lesson Plans Quick Access Button on the Navigation Bar, Manage Section Groups Tab.
The Manage Section Groups Page will appear.
