# Create Your Course(s)

| IMPORTANT: For i>clicker 5.3 users, it is no longer necessary to make a separate copy of the MyCoursePC or MyCourseMac folder for each i>clicker class or section. A single copy of the new iclicker Win and iclicker Mac folder now gives you access to all your courses and sections.

### To create a course:

1. Double-click the i>clicker icon to start the program.
   i>clicker icon
2. The Welcome to i>clicker window appears with no courses listed. Click New.
   Welcome to i>clicker / Choose your course window
