The Course Assigner helps you easily assign SparkPlay Content Library courses to your staff. It’s designed to make it easy to share the right learning at the right time—whether you’re onboarding new staff, supporting professional development, or reinforcing key practices.

Go to the Assign Courses tab and use the form to choose the staff and courses you’d like to assign. As you make selections, you’ll see a summary at the bottom of the page so you can easily review everything before submitting. When you’re ready, click Submit Assignment. You can always assign additional courses later if needed.

Yes. You can select and assign multiple courses in a single submission.

Guided Learning courses are part of a structured learning pathway and aren’t assigned individually. The Course Assigner is intended for Content Library courses only.

Yes. You can submit new course assignments at any time. All assigned courses will remain visible in the Tracker under the Track Progress tab.

The Course Assigner only shows staff  with SparkPlay accounts. If you don’t see someone listed, it’s likely they haven’t set up their account yet. To help them get started, share the activation code you received by email so they can create their SparkPlay account. Once their account is set up, they'll appear in the list and can be assigned courses.

If the staff member already has a SparkPlay account and still doesn't appear, please visit SparkPlay Support at https://sparkplay.playworks.org/support.

You’ll see a confirmation screen letting you know the assignment was successful, and assigned staff will receive an email with links to their courses.

First, ask the staff member to check their spam or junk folder. If they still don’t see the email, check with them to confirm that they’ve set up a SparkPlay account and that they didn’t unsubscribe from Course Assigner emails. You can also use the Track Progress tab to confirm that the course was successfully assigned. If the issue continues, visit SparkPlay Support at https://sparkplay.playworks.org/support.

The Track Progress tab shows you the status of all assigned courses, so you can see who has started, is in progress, or has completed their courses. You can switch between Staff View and Course View to review progress by person or by course.

Not Started means the course hasn’t been opened.
Started means that the course has been opened, but is still at 0% progress.
In Progress means the course has been started.
Completed means the course is 100% complete.

Reminders let you follow up with staff who have incomplete courses. In the Track Progress tab, click Send Reminder to enter Reminder Mode, where you can select one or more staff members and send reminders. Each person receives a single email listing all of their incomplete assignments. You can send reminders more than once, but only once every 24 hours per person.

In Reminder Mode, availability shows whether each staff member can receive a reminder email right now. Staff marked Available can be reminded immediately. If you see a message with time remaining (for example, 3 hours remaining), a reminder was sent recently and you’ll be able to send another one once that time has passed.

Staff marked as Opted out have unsubscribed from Course Assigner emails and won’t receive reminders. To re-enable reminders, ask the staff member to return to a previous course assignment email and click Manage Preferences, or share the re-subscribe link with them: https://sparkplay.playworks.org/course-assignment-email.
