Course section linking is a great way to manage all sections of a course more efficiently.
When sections are linked, they all share the same set of materials and grade setup. This means you only need to create materials and set up your gradebook once, even when you teach multiple sections of the same course. Linked sections also have toggles you can use to switch between each section instantly, so you can keep the sections separate while enjoying a more streamlined workflow.
In order for this to work in RCS's Schoology this school year, you'll need use one of the two methods described below.
1) Manually create a brand new course with multiple sections, link those, and add enrollments or have students join w/ code. (Lisa, I did this with your brand new "Lisa's test math 7 course." I created this, added Sophie Ader as a student, and then ran my import. She stayed in the course. So you could use this course to create 2 sections, link them, add contents, add students (or have them join w/ code), and you're done.
2) Manually create a course w/ 1 section, use it for both periods (e.g. D & F) and use grading groups to separate the kids' assignments/due dates/etc. That's what I did in PTW this year for 2 simultaneous cohorts of faculty.
