Create Course Sections from Authoring Projects (Link Educator Account to Authoring Account)

When creating a new section from your educator account, if you do not see the project you are looking for, either link your educator account to your authoring account or contact the project collaborators to gain access to create course sections. 
Note: If you do not see the New Section button in the upper left of your My Courses landing page, then request instructor access be added to your educator/learner account by emailing oli-help@cmu.edu. See more details on creating an educator account for direct delivery (not linked through an LMS).

1. Sign-in to your Learner/Educator Account or create a new account
You should see a 'New Section' button on the top left to indicate this is an Educator account.
2. Click your Profile Icon in the top right. You should see an option for 'Link Account'.
3. Click 'Link Account' and then sign in to your Authoring Account.
Now, your Educator account can create sections from anything your Author account publishes.
