About Course Types

There are two types of courses in MyiZoneLab:

A Master Course is a course that has been crated from the MyiZoneLab default course. The creator of the master course can customize the study plan by hiding or reordering content and setting course properties.

A Master Course can be copied. Once a course is copied, the copy becomes a new master course. Such a course maintains all of the customizations of the course it was copied from.

A Linked Course is a course that links to a master course. A linked course maintains all of the course settings and customizations of the master course, but the instructor who uses a linked course cannot customize it. A linked course is useful for instructors teaching multiple course sections, as they can create a master course to control all of their course customizations in one place. They can then create linked courses created from the master course for their other classes. Linked courses are also useful for a school's Program Coordinator. He or she can create a master course and allow other instructors to link to it in order to maintain consistency among all classes.
