Featured Class
Marking a class as a featured class allows for the creation of child classes that inherit content from this class.
Inherit Content From
You can inherit content from a featured class. This gives you access to questions, assignments, quizzes, and tests from
the featured class.
Registering Users in a Class
You can register users in a class by:
• Allowing students to register themselves for your course
• Creating and uploading a class roster
• Using the User Manager
If you allow self-registration, students can register for you class using the Find classes open for registration link on
the System Homepage.
Class rosters are an efficient way to add a large number of students to your course at once. The user manager can be
used to search for and add selected students individually.
To register students in your course, they must have an account in the system. Generally, your system administrator
creates user accounts. The system administrator can give instructors the ability to create user accounts. Contact your
system administrator for more information.
Locking and Unlocking Class Registration
You can close registration for your class to prevent students from registering for your class.
To lock class registration:
1. From the Class Homepage, select the Actions menu, and then select Class Info.
2. Click the Edit Class button.
3. Select the Registration Locked check box. (This is selected by default.) See Figure 2.1.
4. Click Submit.
To allow open registration for the class, you can leave the class unlocked for the first two weeks of class and then lock
it. If you do not want to allow open registration, you can lock the class from the start.
