Course Shells or Section Shells?

Hello,

I'm a new Canvas administrator and am looking to improve how our school has historically utilized the LMS. Currently, Grades 6 through 12 are using the Canvas LMS.

At the moment, we create course shells and then teachers invite students to their course. Teachers then create sections within their course and then assign students to their section. One big "complaint" is the Grades page not organizing well regarding ordering when it comes to multiple due dates/sections. 

Ultimately, I'm curious if there are any K-12 institutions that are using Canvas and if there is a strong benefit/opinion on organizing Courses as course shells with sections within them or each shell being its own section in a course.

Thanks in advance,
Alex
