How do I create a class?
This article explains how teachers can create and configure classes in SpacesEDU.
Before You Start
- If your school or district uses SpacesEDU Pro with Class Rostering, your classes and students may already be set up. Log in to check before creating a new class.
- If you see an empty class called My First Class, you can rename and customize it instead of creating a new one. Click the class name and select Edit.
- Teachers can have up to 20 active (unarchived) classes at a time.
Creating a Class
- Click the Home button in the top left to open the classes panel
- Click + Add Class (bottom right)
- Enter a class name and select the applicable grade(s)
- Choose a class avatar
- Click Add Class
You will be redirected to your new class where you can start inviting students. See How do I invite students to join my class?
Editing a Class
To update a class name, grade, avatar, or settings at any time:
- Click the Home button to open the classes panel
- Click the 3 dots beside the class you want to edit
- Select Edit Class
- Make your changes across the available tabs:
Tab | What you can change |
|---|---|
General | Class name, grade(s), and avatar |
Class Settings | Allow reactions, allow students to delete their own posts, activate a sample student, and choose which media types students can add (see below) |
Curriculum Tags and Goals | Toggle curriculum tag and goal options on or off |
- Click Save Changes
Media Type Settings
Under Class Settings, the Media Type Settings let you choose which media options students can use in the class, which keeps posting simple for younger learners. You can turn each of these on or off:
- Camera/Photo/Video
- Audio Recordings
- Drawing Tool (Beta)
- URL Link
- File Attachments
Turned-off options won't appear when adding posts in that class.
Archiving or Leaving a Class
From the 3 dots menu beside any class on your homepage:
Option | What it does |
|---|---|
Archive Class | Hides the class from your active list. Still accessible from the Archived tab (top right). |
Leave Class | Permanently removes you from the class. The class will not appear in your Archived tab. |
Good to Know
- You can have up to 20 active classes at a time. Archive older classes to make room for new ones.
- A Class Space is created automatically when you create a class. You don't need to set it up separately.
- After creating a class, your next step is to invite students. See How do I invite students to join my class?
