Create a course

Let's create a course! You will use a course to structure your assignments and standardize your Grader Than Workspace. Your students will enroll in this course and use it to access their Grader Than Workspace and assignments.

Before you begin, make sure you have an account and you are signed in.

Before we complete this task make sure you have a Grader Than instructor account that is associated with an academic institution.

Create a new course instance if this course already exists.

If you are creating multiple sections of a course, or you are creating the same course that you used in a previous semester you may find it helpful to create a new course instance.

1) In the activity bar, on the left side of the screen, click the Create Create Icon Create Icon button.

2) In the menu that appears, click Create a Course.

3) In the window that appears, fill in the fields. In either field, don't worry about seasonality such as Spring or Fall, you will be able to change this later.

  • Course Name - This is the common name used to refer to your course.

    Example: "Intro To Programming"

    If your course's full name is "CS-101-01 Intro To Programming" then you'd write "Intro Programming" in this field.

  • Classification - This is the course's non-human readable segment. It often includes the Department Code and Course Number.

    Example: "CS-101"

    If your course's full name is "CS-101-01 Intro To Programming" then you'd write "CS-101" or "CS-101-01" in this field.

4) Once you have filled out the fields, click the Create button. You are done!

Now that you have created a course, let's design your Grader Than Workspace configuration.

Create a new course instance

Creating a new course instance is preferable to creating a new course if the course already exists. With a course instance, you will be able to collect data across different instances of the same course so that you can spot trends. We may create multiple course-instances for each section or semester that you teach the course.

To create a new course instance do the following:

1) Open the Courses page by clicking the Courses Create Icon Create Icon button in the activity bar, located on the left side of the screen.

2) Find the card or row of the course you'd like to delete.

3) Click the More Options Create Icon Create Icon button to the right of the Open button for the course you'd like to delete.

4) In the menu that appears, click the Create New Instance button.
