Create a Spark Course

Copy a Course
If you are teaching multiple sections of a course or teaching a course you have previously taught, you can simplify course setup by copying an existing course. Your assignments, tests, and their settings will be copied from your original course to your new course and assigned to all students who enroll in the new course.
Import Multiple Courses
To create multiple courses at once, complete and upload a template CSV file.
Export Courses
Download your school's course information as a CSV file.
Create Self-Registration Guide for Students
Give your students a customized self-registration PDF guide so they can add themselves to your course. The guide includes a course-specific registration link that lets students enroll without a course key.
Manage Courses
