P.S. In case you are not already using this,

Modify parameter settings --> Set parameter setting default actions

is very useful for reducing the number of parameters that one has to set manually.

At the time of cloning a course, a domain coordinator can shift all date parameters by a fixed number of days.

Hi All,

Is there a way I'm forgetting or ignorant of to more or less offset the due dates from Fall semester to Spring semester in a course site?  We copy over our course sites from semester to semester and normally just make those changes by hand, but in a course with 84 sections and section-specific opening and due dates, it would be a great thing to discover there's a way to offset the original times by 20 weeks or whatever it is (and of course manually adjust for Spring break, etc.). Does that exist somehow, somewhere?  Thanks,

Doug
