- Reuse existing courses
If this isn’t your first time using Grasple, you may already have a course you’d like to use again. As you approach a new academic year, the course you want to continue using needs to be copied to create a new version. This action allows you to start fresh and generate learning insights based on your new students. Copying Courses ensures you will always have a clean view of the number of students enrolled and how they are actually performing.
