Create your course in 10 minutes with Learning Tracks

Learning Tracks are pre-built templates that provide flexible options to suit your fully online, hybrid, or face-to-face intermediate Spanish courses.

Once you’ve selected one of the expertly curated Learning Tracks as a base for your course, Portales will automatically set all of the assignments for the entire semester, as well as create your grade book. You can then add or delete activities, change due dates, customize assessments, or even add your own personal touches.
