Classrooms & Teacher Role

Teachers can create classrooms, share a class code, assign tracks, and track progress. Students can join a class with the code and see assigned tracks on their dashboard.

For Teachers
  • Create classrooms — Set up a class and get a unique join code
  • Complete your profile — School name, URL, and abbreviation (required for classroom access)
  • Assign tracks — Choose from existing tracks or create and publish your own
  • Suggested tracks — Set grade and subject on your class to see track suggestions
  • My tracks — Create custom tracks (draft or publish so other teachers can use them)
  • Roster & approvals — See who joined and approve pending requests
For Students
  • Join a class — Enter the code your teacher shared (from dashboard or “Join a class”)
  • Assigned tracks — View “Your classes & assigned tracks” on your dashboard
  • Required & due dates — Assigned tracks can be marked required or given a due date
  • Progress — Work on assigned tracks the same way as other tracks; progress is tracked

Teachers can only use the classroom module after completing their school profile. Students do not see “Join a class” if they are logged in as a teacher.
