Create your account

  1. Go to knowt.com and click Get Started.

  2. Choose Teacher as your account type and complete sign-up.

  3. Tell us what kind of educator you are on your Home page so we can suggest the right tools.

Create a class and invite students

Classes → Create or join → Create class. Share the class code or link from the Assignments tab — see How to create a class and How to invite students to your class.

Build something for your class

Click the green + button. From one menu you can make Flashcards, Notes, a Chat Tutor, an Assessment, Writing Feedback, a Play game, or use 40+ AI Tools (lesson plans, rubrics, worksheets, levelled texts and more). Upload any file and Kai turns it into notes, flashcards, an assessment or a chat.

Everything you create is saved in Materials. Use Assign to students on a file (or Assign from materials inside a class) to give it to a class.

Assign and track

Assign assessments, chat tutors and writing tasks to your class with a schedule, attempts and grade visibility, then follow progress on the class Assignments tab or in Analytics in the left sidebar. Kai grades assessments and drafts writing feedback for you to review.

Play live

Run any assessment or set as a Knowt Play game — students join at knowt.com/join with a 6-digit code.

Your plan

The free plan covers classes, assessments, chat tutors and Play, with a 20-file limit. Ultra adds unlimited files, Google Classroom integration, private files, advanced restrictions, LockDown Browser for assessments and multiple podcasts per note or flashcard set. Canvas and other LMS and rostering integrations come with a school site license, so ask your school about one. See What's included in the free plan for teachers?
