In this article we learn how to create groups on The EverLearner website.
Setting up groups involves assigning students and teachers to classes and linking each class to a course. This enables teachers to set assignments and track student progress. It also ensures that both teachers and students have access only to the courses they are teaching or studying, helping to prevent students from accessing the wrong course by mistake.
Who can do this?
- Admin
- HoD
What comes before?
- You must be an Admin or a HoD.
- The teacher(s) you wish to assign to the group must be registered on the site. (See here for how to create teacher accounts.)
- Your students must already be registered on the site. (See here for how to create student accounts.)
Steps
1. You must be logged in and be an Admin or HoD.
2. Choose 'Admin > Groups'.
3. Click the green 'Create new group' button at the top of the page. This brings up a series of panels for you to complete.
4. In the green 'Basic Details' panel, select the qualification you wish to assign to the group from the drop down menu.
Please note: if your students are studying A-Level, you must select the GCE qualification, not AS or A2.
5. Continuing in the green 'Basic Details' panel, complete the box 'Group name' (this could simply be the class code you use in school for example: 11A/Sp1).
6. In the pink 'Courses' panel, click on 'Add course to group'.
7. In the 'Select course' box, select the course you wish to assign to your group from the drop down menu (you can type part of the course name to help narrow the selection).
8. Click 'add course to group'.
9. If you wish to assign another course to the group repeat steps 6-8 for each course you wish to add.
10. Moving to the grey "Teachers' panel, click 'Add teacher to group'.
11. Click 'Select teacher' and choose the teacher from the drop down menu (you can type part of the teacher's name to help narrow the selection).
12. Moving onto the yellow 'Students' panel, click 'Add student to group'.
13. In the green panel that appears, search for the student(s) you wish to add to the group, ticking alongside each one. You can filter and sort to make this task easier.
14. Once all students have been selected, click 'Submit users' at the bottom of the green panel, and ensure that the students have been added to the yellow panel before you move on.
15. Finally, when all your students have been added to the group, click on the green 'Create' button at the bottom.
