Getting Started

You can follow the steps from the video below, or just follow along with the step-by-step guide with screenshots.


Joining Your School and Class

After creating your account, follow these steps to join your class using the invitation code provided by your teacher or administrator.

Step 1: Select Your User Type

  1. On the welcome screen that appears after signing up, choose the second option titled "Have an Organization Code"

  2. Click the orange "Join Class" button


Step 2: Select School or Join with Invite Code

Once you click the Join Class button, you will see the Select School or Join with Invite Code page.

If you have already entered your code before:

  • Your code is saved in your account forever

  • You will be able to select your school and then the class to access all materials

If it is your first time:

  1. Simply write your 7-digit code

  2. Click the "Join School" button to join

Important: If you write your code incorrectly or use a code that has been used before, you might get an invalid code error. Simply try again. If the issue persists, contact our support and we will help you out.


Step 3: Enter Your School

Once you write the code, your school name will appear with a "Select School" button next to it. Click that button to enter your school.


Step 4: Request to Join Your Class

Once you entered your organization, you will see all the classes. From here you can send a join request to your class.

  1. Select ONLY your class or classes

  2. The system or your teacher will approve your class joining request shortly

  3. After the request is approved, you can join the class

Tip: If you sent a wrong class join request, you can always cancel your request by clicking the red "Cancel Request" button.

Note: You can refresh your page or click the "Refresh" button to see if your request is approved. You can contact our support if your request is not approved in a couple of hours.


✅ All Set!

Note: This was a one-time sign up process. You will be able to open your classroom with 1 click from now on. If you don't exit from your class, the app will open directly inside your class materials as a default.
