Creating a class

  1. Click Classes in the left sidebar, then Create or join → Create class.

  2. Enter a class name and an optional description.

  3. Choose how many sections/periods you teach (1–15) and name each section.

  4. Click Create class.

Create a new class dialog

Note: If your school has purchased Knowt with rostering, your classes are created and kept up to date automatically from your school's SIS. Rostered classes can't have their members or sections edited in Knowt — changes come through the SIS sync.

Next steps

Your class opens on its Assignments tab. Share the class code or Copy class link from the invite widget to get students in — see How to invite students to your class.

Then add materials to the class with Assign from materials on the same tab.
