Setting Up Blueprint Courses

Steps

1. Reach out to LTS for help setting up a primary, “parent” Blueprint Course. You can do this by emailing lts@boisestate.edu or submitting a ticket with the Help Desk, which will get escalated to LTS.

   1. LTS will select the “Enable course as a Blueprint Course” setting in the course you identify.

2. Create a new course, or designate an existing course, to become the “parent” course.

   1. Note: “parent” courses cannot have student enrollments. Enrollments would be in the “child” course(s).

3. Prepare the “parent” course. See the next Using Blueprint Courses article for information about how to manage content and syncing. You can lock certain pages or assignments so they are uneditable in “child” courses. All of this is managed in Blueprint icons and the Blueprint sidebar.

4. Once the “parent” course is ready, open the Blueprint sidebar to associate new “child” course(s). Select Associations, Search Courses by title, check boxes next to any course(s) that need the content pushed into them. Then select Sync.

   1. Note: depending on how much content there is, and how many courses need to be synced, you may need to wait several minutes for syncing to finish.

5. Check out the new child course(s) and confirm everything is set up the way you want.

   1. Note: you can make edits and sync/re-sync as many times as you need to with Steps 3-5.
