Beacon links standard sets to each course, which then houses curriculum components related to the standards. ## Courses List The Courses screen lists your courses, any courses that were shared with you, and all of the courses created for your district. You can sort, filter, and search the course list to locate the one you want to view. Selecting a course allows you to view and edit the course. You can also add a new course by creating one from scratch or by importing materials into Beacon. Once you have created a course, teachers can link their plans to the corresponding course. ![Table of courses with filters for subjects, grade levels, and access levels.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/courses-list(1).png) | # | Field | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | New | Opens a drop-down menu to create a new course using any of the following options: - [**Create Courses**](/v1/docs/about-courses) – Create one or multiple courses at once. - [**Import from Computer**](/v1/docs/importing-a-course) – Create a new course by importing one or more files from your device. - [**Import from Drive**](/v1/docs/google-drive-integration) – Create a new course by importing one or more files from a connected Google Drive account. | | 2 | Subject | Filters the table by subject. | | 3 | Grade Level | Filters the table by grade level. | | 4 | Access Level | Filters the table to show only private courses to which you have access or to show only district-level courses. | | 5 | Search by Title | Filters the table to show only courses with titles that match the search criteria. | | 6 | Reset Filters | Clears all filters. | | 7 | List | Displays all of the courses that you have access to, according to the applied filters.
