Course offerings

One course can have several course offerings. Course offerings can be obtained from the Course and Programme Catalogue. Each course offering also has its own course room in Canvas.

UPDATED 21 OCTOBER 2022

Status of the Course Web

The information on this page is correct, but the recommendation is to go over to "About course" and Canvas. Canvas  should be used for the current course offering (for example, to see course participants and for assignments), while "About course"  contains information that the students need before course selection, course start and after the course (for example syllabus and course memo).

This is how course offerings work

Each course offering has its own page structure and its own schedule. The course offering pages are placed under a heading with the name of the course offering in the menu to the left. Course offerings/groups within the course are obtained from the Course and Programme Catalogue. Admitted students are automatically selected for correct course offerings.

Selection of course offerings/groups within the course affects:

  • what you see as content on the Course Overview/News Feed/Schedule pages
  • which course offerings/groups within the course (with associated pages) you will see in the menu.

Course offerings in Canvas

Each course offering has its own area (course) in Canvas. But if the teacher wishes, several course offerings can be merged into a single area (course) in Canvas. If you have questions about merging course offerings in Canvas, contact it-support@kth.se   to get help.

Find Course offerings

You can always access information specifically for the course offerings you have not selected under Tools/Find content/Sets and groups. If you want to change the course offering or follow additional course offerings, you can manage it yourself under Tools/My settings.

How can I copy material between different course offerings from year to year?

The “Copy pages” function is found under the paper and pen icon. It allows you to choose which pages from which course offerings you want to copy and to which course offerings the pages will be copied. Then click the “Copy” button to perform the copy operation.

Manage Course offerings/Groups

Under Tools-> Administration-> Manage course offerings/groups, all course offerings/groups are listed for the current course. They are used to group content (pages, posts, schedule events) so it can reach the right recipients. Subgroups are created automatically on the basis of templates based on the information in Kopps. Those who are authorised can create, modify, delete, combine these.

Contact it-support@kth.se  if you have any questions or requests.
