Note

This article is about customizing courses for heritage Imagine Edgenuity courses. For information about customizing EdgeEX courses, reference EdgeEX — Customizing Courses.

Follow these steps to learn how to find and add a lesson by searching by lesson standards from the content library to a customized course.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are all of the lessons from any purchased libraries available in the customization tool?

Yes, with a few exceptions, including our subscription-based electives. Lessons from Work Keys cannot be added into other courses, so they will not appear when clients are customizing courses.

I'm looking for a specific lesson and it's not appearing in the customization tool. Why can't I see that lesson that I know is in another class we have access to in our school?

It's most likely that the library that contains that course is not enabled. Check the licensing tab to see what has been licensed or contact your Account Manager for support.

If a teacher includes lessons from other courses during the customization process, will students be assessed on those additional lessons?

Yes! Our assessments are dynamic and will be customized to assess students on the content assigned to them. Clients can blend and rearrange content as needed, and the tests and exams will update to reflect those changes.

The exception to this would be the Imagine Learning World Language courses as some of those lessons do not have quizzes. If the lesson does contain a quiz, the quiz will be moved. Exams and tests will not reflect the World Language lesson content.

What happens on tests and exams when I remove a lesson?

When you remove a lesson, the lesson's test and exam bank questions are also removed.

Imagine Learning used to have a feature called Insert Supplemental Activities. Where is that now located?

This is no longer available. There were many limitations to this feature, like scores not counting towards the overall grade for the course. Instead, clients can now freely customize a student's course and insert lessons from any library they have purchased. Bonus - any scores earned in the lessons added into their course will count towards the overall grade, so students earn credit on all of their work!

Permission

To follow the steps listed below, you will need to have "Create Custom Courses" checked under School Courses. To validate your permissions, click here.

Caution

Before customizing a course, verify that you have imported the current version of the course.

Caution

Once a student has been assigned to the course, the option to add additional material at the course level is no longer available. However, in-flight customization is possible one enrollment at a time.
