Overview

If you have existing Course Outlines with almost or exactly the same scheduled units and outline rules as the Course Outline that you are about to make, then this Paradigm feature will address that concern, saving you time to create Course Outlines from scratch. The workflow below will guide you on how to copy the outline rules you’ve set from your previous courses and copy them to your newly offered or other courses in the system. It is highly advised that you will still do due diligence – making sure that all the scheduled units and rules apply to your newly created Course Outline.
