Sharing Cart Block

The Sharing Cart block is a useful tool for instructors using multiple Avenue courses. If this block is added to Avenue courses, it allows instructors to duplicate resources and activities between Avenue

courses, if they are editing instructors.

All courses must have the Sharing Cart block enabled and editing turned on. The sharing Cart is not visible to students.

Instructors copy course content into their course Sharing Cart library through the Sharing Cart block or the Sharing Cart icon.

The Sharing Cart library is available on all of the teacher’s courses through the Sharing Cart block. User data is optional when transferring items from one course to another.
