Six Reasons to Implement CourseStart for Spring 2025

Spring 2025 is fast approaching, and SRM is offering community colleges a new way to prepare high-quality courses that are efficient to deliver: CourseStart—a groundbreaking solution designed to simplify course creation, reduce faculty workload, and enhance the student experience.

CourseStart by Six Red Marbles offers a robust library of general education courses ready to import to your LMS, along with a course and content generation tool that will streamline your faculty’s preparation time, saving them hours of effort. If you’re wondering whether CourseStart is right for your institution, here are six compelling reasons to implement our solution designed for community colleges before the spring semester begins.

1. Create a Course in Just Three Clicks

Time is a precious resource for faculty, especially instructors managing multiple courses. CourseStart’s AI-powered course creation tool makes it easy to generate a complete course in just three clicks. Faculty can customize the content, tailor assignments, and get everything ready for students without spending hours building courses from scratch.

2. Gain Access to 20 High-Demand General Education Courses

CourseStart currently offers a library of 20 expertly designed general education courses* that are subject matter expert–reviewed and crafted by professional instructional designers. These courses cover a range of in-demand subjects, ensuring your institution has the essential courses students need to succeed. Each course is ready to implement and customize, saving time for faculty and providing a uniform experience for learners.

3. Save Time and Reduce Friction for Adjunct Faculty

Adjunct faculty play a critical role in course preparation, and CourseStart helps lighten their load by providing ready-to-use courses and tools that streamline the process before a term begins. This means instructors can place more of their focus on teaching and student engagement rather than course setup, creating a smoother experience for everyone involved.

4. Provide a Consistent, Uniform Student Experience

With CourseStart’s pre-built library of courses, students benefit from a consistent learning experience across subjects. Uniform course structures ensure that learners can easily navigate their classes, reducing confusion and enhancing overall satisfaction. A streamlined experience fosters better engagement and retention.

5. Eliminate Up-Front Costs with Our Subscription Model

CourseStart offers a cost-effective subscription model, eliminating the need for large up-front investments. By subscribing, institutions can better manage budgets while still accessing high-quality educational tools.

6. Flexible Assignments and Assessment Materials

CourseStart includes built-in assignment and assessment generation tools, making it easier than ever to engage learners with custom, easy-to-create content.
