Introduction

The Components Management page allows you to set up non-primary components and bulk create components such as tutorials, labs, and open labs. The primary component needs to be set up in the Course Planner prior to setting up the non-primary components using this page. Afterwards, the course offering schedule can be set up on the Course Scheduler and course data be uploaded to goSFU using goSFU Course Data Upload.

 

In the following section, you will learn how to do the following:

  • Understand the components that make up the Components Management

  • How to add, edit, and delete non-primary components
