Create a New Course for ELM Students

There are three ways to add an ELM student class in ELM System:

  • Create a new class from scratch.
  • Copy the information from an existing class and change any information, such as the name.
    • All course information is copied to the new course with the exception of the Student Invites. This method is especially useful when you are offering several sessions of the same class, want to re purpose courses from previous years, or want to easily reuse existing course content.
  • Download a course from the ELM Library.
Reminder: An ELM student is a student created in the ELM system only as opposed to an election worker, who is maintained in the Voter Focus voter registration database.
