## The problem

Two courses, two sets of plans, rubrics and messages. You keep mixing them up.

## How Plexii handles it

Two rooms, one per course, each with its desks. Portals on a third desk show both at once; switch with ⌘K.

In short: Keep each course in its own room. Watch both from one overview desk, and jump between them in a keystroke.
