­How To Set Create a New Workshop

Overview

A separate “group” is set up for each workshop.  This provides a place for the workshops participants to use a customized compass and other dotLRN tools.

Copy a Workshop

It is very important that you copy a newer group, rather than an older group. We are setting up 3. Project Design and Implementation (June 2005) to be copied. Any Workshop after November 2005 can also be copied. Choose the workshop that has the closest Compass to the one you want to run.

1. Go to the workshop you want to copy and click Group Admin at the bottom of the page.
   
   
2. Click Copy this Group.

The Copy a Group Form

3. Your inputs to the Description will go to the "Class Info" portlet or the new workshop and can be changed anytime.
4. After copying the workshop you can customize your new workshop.
