Create or copy a course in MathXL or MathXL for School
MathXL and MathXL for School are designed to work outside a learning management system (LMS), so they incorporate capabilities like creating a course that are otherwise handled by an LMS.
To create or copy a course:
- From the menu, select Course Manager.
You also can select your name in the course banner and select My Courses.
- On the Course Manager page, select Create or copy a course.
- Choose the type of course to create:
- Standard - A single course with no relation to other courses.
- Coordinator - A template course that you copy to create course sections (members). Changes to a coordinator course propagate to all the member sections. Students do not enroll in coordinator courses.
- Member - A copy of a coordinator course that is linked to and managed by the coordinator. Students enroll in member sections.
See Manage course groups for more information.
- Name your course.
- Choose how to create your course:
- Create a new course - A course where you create your own assignments.
- Create a new preloaded course - A course with already created assignments. See Use preloaded courses for details.

- Copy a course from another instructor at my school - A course owned by another instructor. The course owner must make the course available for copying in the course settings.
- Copy a course by specifying its Course ID - A course from a different school. Enter the course ID.
