CREO is the authoring tool where we can create and directly distribute courseware and assessments.

You will be prompted to download CREO after you create your first course in the Administration app.

Open the installation to download CREO. It will automatically open Mathematica. Click Start Installation on the prompt.

On the next screen, click Install to continue the installation.

On the final screen, check the box that you agree to the Terms of Use. Use the same login credentials as you do for SYLVA. Finally, click Install Now.
