Now that you’ve created a class, it’s time to start uploading assignments!
The Materials tab acts as a container where you can store resources that are visible to all students. With just a few taps or clicks, you can share work with your entire class at once.
Using the Materials List
Here’s how to access Materials:
Tap a class
Tap an assignment
Tap Materials
From here, you can add a post in the text box or tap the “+” icon to upload a file.
How to Pin Posts
You can pin important posts so they stay at the top of the Materials list.
On iOS: Swipe left on a post and tap the pin icon
On web: Click the “…” menu and select Pin
📌 Pinned posts remain at the top, helping ensure important information isn’t missed.
Uploading Differentiated Content
By default, new posts are shared with everyone. You’ll see a message at the top that says “Sharing new posts with everyone.”
Tap this message to choose which students can access your post
You can also edit visibility from an individual post
This allows you to upload different versions of an assignment to support diverse learning needs.
💡 Tip: Select No One to upload content without sharing it yet. When you're ready, update the visibility to share it with students.
