Is there an easy way to manage a class that has a lecture section, lab sections, and problem sections?
One alternative is to use the group tools. Once all students have been added to the lecture section, they could then be divided into groups for each of the lab and problem set sections. Each section could be monitored by the appropriate instructors or T.A.s. Another approach would be to create a folder for each lab and problem set section in the Course Documents or other section of the course site. Each instructor could then post announcements, problem sets, etc. in their respective folders. A final option would be to have multiple course sites. A template course could be created containing all content relating to the lecture section and then copied for use by all the section instructors. Any later changes to the lecture portion would then need to be updated in each copied course site individually.
