Note for metacourse users who intend to use groups: Before you add course meta links to your master section, you should make a group in your master section (for example, a group called '101' if that's the section where you place your content), and put all the users currently enrolled in that section in that group. The course meta link process will allow you to automatically add the students from other sections into their own group during the meta link process.
