Teaching more than one Accelerator Course
If you are teaching the same Accelerator course more than once, we recommend only setting up the first course initially. You can then import the first course into the second course shell prior to teaching the second course.
If the courses do not overlap, we recommend completing the first course completely before importing it into the second course shell.
