Create a Sandbox

Access this form by selecting [VTAC Self-Service Forms] in the upper-left navigation menu, then choose the appropriate form from the list.

A Sandbox is an area where you can work on designing your course that is not visible to students and allows you to use a Test Student. Sandboxes are meant for your individual course development; other people cannot be added to your sandbox.

NOTE: If you would like to share course materials, you can Create a Community Group and add others to that group. You can also Export Course Content to share with others.
