Getting Started: Scheduling a class


Learn how to set up classes and schedule assignments.

Getting Started

  1. Click on the calendar on the day and time you want to begin the schedule for the class,
      Or, click on the day in the all-day section at the top.
  2. Choose “Class” in the dialog that appears.
  3. Select the subject for the class from the Subject menu.
  4. Choose the student or students who will participate in the class in the For Whom menu.
      (Don’t include yourself – you’ll still see all the classes on your calendar).

Choosing the schedule

The default schedule for classes is once per week, on whichever day you clicked to begin. The Starting date, and the start and end times, are also taken from your initial click. If you clicked in the all-day section at the top, the class will be set to have “No particular time”. The class is initially set to have no end date.

  1. To change how often the class occurs, choose an option from the When menu.
  2. To change the Starting date, click on the date field and select a new date from the calendar that pops up.
  3. To change the start or end time, click on the clock icon next to the time, and choose the new time from the pop-up.
    • If you change the start time, the end time will automatically update to keep the same duration for the class.
    • Changing the end time will allow you to change the duration of the class.
    • If you choose an end time earlier than the start time, the field will be shown in red, and you will be unable to Save your work until you choose a new time.
  4. To choose an end date for the class, click on the Until field, and select a date from the calendar that pops up.
      You don’t need to choose an end date now. You can edit the class later and choose an end date.

Entering assignments

  1. There is a row for each day on which the class is scheduled in which you can enter an assignment for that day.
  2. To add more assignments to a day, choose “Add another assignment to this day” from the “More…” menu.
  3. The top section is for recurring assignments. Assignments entered here will appear every class day.
  4. You can hide the recurring assignments from the list by unchecking the “Show recurring items” checkbox.
      (the recurring items will still appear on the calendar)
  5. Rearrange assignments by dragging and dropping them.

Multiple students

When you have more than one student in a class, some additional features are available.

  1. Assignments entered on the Shared Assignments panel will be assigned to all students.
  2. Assignments entered on an individual student’s panel will be assigned to only that student.
  3. The shared assignments are also displayed on each student’s panel, marked by a special icon.
      You can hide them by unchecking the “Show shared items” checkbox.
  4. You can edit the text for a shared item on a student’s panel. The text will be unchanged for the other students.
  5. You can drag and drop shared items on a student’s panel. The assignment will remain on the original date for the other students.
      Shared assignments that have been rescheduled for a student will have a red exclamation point over the icon.
