The classes feature allows schools to organize teachers and students into groups, which assists with setting work and viewing results.
While classes are available to all teachers using GO, they will only add value to schools who are using our Cambridge Online Mathematics (COM), Knowledge Check and Cambridge Latin Course language activities.
In order to organize school members into classes, you must first register your school and add teachers and students to the school. Click Join a School to begin this process, which may take up to 3 days.
Once your school is registered, you will be able to set up classes. Click Classes in the GO sidebar to begin.
You will see a screen showing the classes at your school, divided into My Classes and All Classes (see below).
If there are no classes, you will be able to click Create a new class to begin.
Creating a new class
Complete the form with the name and description of your group. Try to keep the name short and snappy.
You can now add learners to your class. Use the + symbol to add a user to the list of Selected members. To add multiple learners, use the checkboxes.
Next add instructors. Instructors can use classes to allocate work to students. Your class will appear in their My Classes screen.
The final step is to confirm your selections. You can click Previous to make changes. You will be listed as the Group Creator and from now on you will see your new class in My Classes. Note that any other teacher or admin at your institution in GO will be able to edit your classes.
Managing your classes
Once your school has had some classes set up, teachers will see them when they click on Classes in the GO sidebar.
Classes are split into two:
- My Classes: These are classes that you are associated with as either an instructor or a learner.
- All Classes: These are all classes at a school. Any teacher can edit or manage these classes but remember to check with the class’s creator or managers first.
On the screen above any teacher can:
- Remove individuals from the group by clicking on the control at the end of each row.
- Remove multiple individuals from the group using the checkboxes.
Adding members to existing classes
To add any new members to an existing class an Admin or Teacher will need to go to the class management page and press the "Add Class Members" button shown below.
They will then need to select any user they wish to add to the class as students by clicking the tick box next to the user name.
The next step is to scroll to the bottom of the screen and press the "Add to Class" button.
This will add the users to the class. Then you can press the next button to take you to the "Add Instructors" page.
Then complete the same step for the users you wish to add to the class as instructors.
When you have selected all of the users press the "Finish" button in the bottom right-hand corner.
Once this is complete the users will be added to the class and the screen will show your class with the new users added.
