Classes & Organization

A class is the main teaching container. It connects instructors, students, units, lessons, schedules, and submissions.

Who Can Manage Classes

Class access depends on role and assignment.

RoleTypical class access
Super userCan access classes across organizations.
Organization adminCan manage classes in the organization.
Instructor adminCan manage organization classes and instructor assignments.
InstructorCan access assigned classes.

If a class is missing from your list, check whether you are assigned to it and whether the list is filtered to deleted classes.

Open the Class List

There are two common ways to find classes:

  1. Use My Classes when you are an instructor or instructor admin looking for assigned work.
  2. Use Organization -> Classes when you have organization-management access.

The class list supports:

  • Filtering by Class Name.
  • Showing deleted classes with Show Deleted.
  • Pagination for large organizations.
  • Opening a class by selecting its row.

Create a Class

Classes are created from the organization class list.

  1. Open the organization's Classes page.
  2. Select Add Class.
  3. Enter Class Name.
  4. Select one or more instructors in Assign Instructors.
  5. Select Create.

The class name is required and can be up to 255 characters. At least one instructor is required.

INFO

The instructor picker only shows active instructor accounts that have completed password setup. If an instructor is missing, check the user account before creating the class.

Class Detail Page

Open a class row to reach the class detail page. This page brings together the class workflow:

SectionUse it for
Class InstructorsView and manage instructor assignments when your role allows it.
StudentsAdd students, search the roster, view access codes, and open student profiles.
UnitsBuild the curriculum hierarchy and open lessons.
Class Schedule CalendarReview and adjust lesson availability and due dates.

The class detail page also has Edit Class in the page header.

Edit a Class

  1. Open the class detail page.
  2. Select Edit Class.
  3. Update Class Name.
  4. Use Deleted if the class should be hidden from active student access.
  5. Select Save.

When a class is marked deleted, the edit dialog warns that students will not be able to access the class.

Delete Instead of Losing Context

Deleting a class is a soft-delete cleanup action. It hides the class from normal active views while preserving its history.

Use delete when:

  • A term is over.
  • Students should no longer access the class.
  • You still want to preserve units, lessons, submissions, and history.

To view deleted classes later, enable Show Deleted in the class list.

Manage Instructors

Classes can have more than one instructor. Use the Class Instructors section on the class detail page when you need to add or remove instructors.

See Class Instructors for the detailed workflow and the rule that a class must keep at least one instructor.

Manage Students

Use the Students section on the class detail page to:

  • Add students.
  • Search by name or access code.
  • Read completion progress.
  • Open a student profile.
  • Find the student's mobile app access code.

See Student Management for the full student workflow.

Manage Curriculum

Use the Units section to build the class curriculum. Units contain lessons, and lessons contain questions and information entries.

  • Create units.
  • Create lessons inside units.
  • Reorder units and lessons.
  • Publish or unpublish units and lessons.
