This article is intended for instructors looking to edit/delete multiple course items at the same time in their Husky CT Ultra course.
Overview
The Batch Edit tool allows instructors to edit multiple course items (up to 100) at one time, rather than doing so for each individual piece of instructional content or assessment.
Using Batch Edit, instructors can:
Edit Dates: allows for the adjustment of show/hide and due dates for a new term
Edit Visibility: changes the visibility status of multiple course items to either visible or hidden
Delete: multiple pieces of content at once as well.
