2. 2. Add all your learners to the group that you just created.

3. 3. In the "Views" section of your course group create a view and make it copyable by checking the Allow Copying box in the view settings.

4. 4. Add to the template a basic description of what the learner should be loading into which sections. Here is very simple example of the kind of template you may create:
