Get Started
Creating a Course
Once you've logged into CourseCompass, you will need to create a copy of the course for your own use. Follow these directions for copying a course:
- From the My Courses box on the left, click on Create or Copy a Course
- Type "MyEconLab" in the Search box and click Search
- Scroll down to find the title of the text you wish to use, and then click Select Course Materials.
- Enter a course name, optional description, and course end date and click the Submit button. You will receive an e-mail when your course is ready. (Typically, it takes CourseCompass between 20 minutes and one business day to create your course.)
Your confirmation e-mail will include a unique Course ID, which you need to distribute to your students so they can enroll in your MyEconLab course.
Previewing a Course
When the system has created your course, the course will appear in Preview mode, meaning that your students cannot yet enroll in it. You can spend as much time as you wish viewing and customizing a course before making it available to your students.
When you are ready to give your students access to your course:
- Click the Adopt button. Any changes you made to the course in Preview mode will be preserved.
- Distribute the Course ID to your students, which they will need to enroll in your MyEconLab course. (You can always find your Course ID by logging into CourseCompass and clicking the Courses tab.)
