Requesting an Avenue Course Shell

• Supporting Resource: Avenue to Learn: Course Request

If you plan to utilize Avenue in your teaching, you will need to request a course shell, ideally, well in advance of the start of the course.

It typically takes 15 minutes for courses to be created as long as the information matches exactly what is provided by MOSAIC. If it does not, it may take up to 24 hours (excluding weekends).

The request form will ask you to include details on which sections you are teaching so that it can automatically enrol the students on the registrar’s class list in the shell. You will also be able to make additional changes like minor course title edits and add additional instructions, as long as they have a MacID.

How long will I have access to my course?

You will have access to your Avenue course for the duration of your access to your MacID.

Who owns the course?

When considering questions of ownership of the instructional material you create during your appointment at McMaster, we recommend you consult the following:

• Copyright Ownership and a Policy Framework for Licensing Instructional Material
• Your teaching contract
• Your professional association or union
