How-toTeachers

The course page, news, settings and the calendar

Build the class's course page, post news, set the class's time zone and other settings, duplicate work, and put every due date in your calendar.

5 steps about 4 min Teachers

Step 1: Build the course page
Where: The class → Class → Course → Add a section / Add a lesson
Sections and lessons in order, each with notes (short Markdown), links to the web, and links to topics, notes, quizzes and labs on the site. Release a lesson on a date, or hide it. Students tick lessons done.
Step 2: Post news
Where: The class → Class → News and Discussion → New post
An announcement on the class page, pinned if you like. Students are told in their inbox. The discussion lives on the same page.
Step 3: Set the class's time zone and rules
Where: The class → Class → Settings
The zone is taken from your browser when the class is made (Pakistan unless yours differs); change it here. Due dates, reminders and the calendar feed follow it, and a student in another zone also sees their own time. Settings also holds the join code, approve-automatically, gradebook weights and the school's consent tick.
Step 4: Duplicate a piece of work
Where: The class → Work → a piece of work → Duplicate
A draft copy with the same questions and settings and no answers, in this class or another of yours. Check its dates, then publish it.
Step 5: Put due dates in your calendar
Where: The class → People → Add to my calendar
A private calendar link with every due date and live class of your classes. Add to my calendar opens your calendar app; the https address is for Google Calendar or Outlook on the web. Keep the link to yourself.
