Roles and Functionality
For information on role descriptions, please refer to the Role Descriptions section in Creating New Sites and Classrooms.
In Classrooms, all three educator roles (Site Owners, Administrators, and Instructors) operate as the same role: Instructor. Instructors can schedule content, send announcements, grade activities, and manage the classroom overall.
Users with the Student role are only able to view announcements, see schedule content, and work through activities as directed by the Instructor.

Schedule and Holidays
In classroom settings, Instructors have the ability to choose the days of the week on which content is able to be scheduled, allowing for a streamlined system that automates correct scheduling. To edit your classroom’s schedule:
On the top right of the classroom’s page, click Settings.
Under Schedule Settings select the desired days of the week that the classroom meets.
Click Save to apply changes.
Content visibility can be delayed for a set amount of days by enabling Hide lessons until a certain number of days before they're scheduled. While enabled, students will only see lesson overviews.
Other options in this section include the ability to:
Block out holidays.
Enable course advancement requirements.
Announcements
Site Owners, Administrators and Instructors can send out announcements to inform students about any important information. To send an announcement to a classroom:
Select the desired classroom to send the announcement to.
Click on the Announcements tab.
Type the announcement in the Rich Text Editor.
For information on how to use the Rich Text Editor, please refer to Using the Rich Text Editor.
Click on Create Announcement. The announcement will give students in your classroom a notification on the left-hand navigation bar.
Announcements can be viewed in the Announcements tab on a classroom page.
User and Classroom Management
Removing Users
Site Owners, Administrators and Instructors have the ability to remove students from classrooms. To remove students from classrooms:
On the classroom page, click on the Students tab.
Under All students, click the red trash can button next to the desired student’s name.
On the pop up window, click the Delete button to finalize removing the student from the classroom.
You can use the checkboxes to the left of the student name list to remove students in bulk.
Deleting and archiving Classrooms
Site Owners, Administrators, and Instructors can delete or archive classrooms within their sites.
Deleting removes all of the classroom’s information and data.
Archiving makes the data recoverable for a classroom, but removes the visibility of the classroom for the Students.
To delete or archive a classroom:
On the classroom page, click Settings on the top right corner.
Scroll down to the 🔥 Danger Zone 🔥 section.
Select either the Archive Classroom or Delete Classroom button for the desired effect.
Once a classroom has been archived, the Archive Classroom button will change to say Unarchive Classroom. Unarchiving a classroom will restore a student’s ability to view it.
Archived classrooms can be viewed later by Instructors and Site Administrators on the classroom’s page under the ARCHIVED tab.
