Before adding a student, it is helpful to review the different Roster Types available for classes:
| Roster Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Students | Enables tracking of session history, student attendance, and assessments. |
| List Only | Requires only the students’ names, without enabling any student data tracking. Useful if you need to remember which students are in a class. |
| None | Disables the ability to list any students in the class. |
To create trackable students that can then be added to a class with a Students-type Roster, follow the steps below:
From the Teaching Dashboard, click on Your Name in the upper right corner and select Manage Students from the dropdown menu.
Click 'Add Student' in the upper right.
When adding a new student, Display Name is the only required field. The name entered will appear to you, the student, and other students in the same class during active sessions. It is recommended to use display names that are unique to each student so they are distinguishable from other students, even if they are in different classes.
If you do not select a Default Class here, you can assign the student to a class later. Profiles can be edited by choosing a student from the Students tab on the Teaching Dashboard.
To save the new student and immediately begin adding another student, click 'Save and Add Another Student' after entering their information. To save the new student and view their Student Details, click 'Save and View Student' after entering their information.
Once you have created a student, they will appear in the Students tab on the Teaching Dashboard. There, students are organized and color-coded by what class (or classes) they are in.
