Instructors are being added automatically to eClass courses based on the information from the Academic Resource Management System (ARMS). This will be the case going forward, so there is no longer any need to request a eClass course.
Resources for instructors:
• Getting started
• Setting up your course
• Course Management
• Communication
• Adding content
