We have recently created a new Upcoming Classes and Scheduling section, which you can read about here. Existing customers may still be using the legacy version, so this article aims to cover any questions you may have about class creation on the old system.

If you're unsure about which system your school is using, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@learncube.com.

6.3 - Creating a class

All admins and some teachers have the permission to create classes or courses.

From your dashboard, you can click on “add class” and then select “Add a single class.”

On the class creation menu, you’ll need to choose the start time, and end time. Please note that the start and end time will be in your time, so you may need to adjust it accordingly for a student in a different timezone. Students will automatically see classes appearing in their time.

You can also add info such as the subject, level, and a description.

Finally, you should decide whether this is a group or 1:1 class.

When you hit save, you’ll be directed to the enrolment page. You can choose to add a student now, or just click continue, to create a class with empty spaces.

If you want to wait, and enrol students later, you can do so from the "upcoming classes" section of your class admin, or by clicking on the class title (in the case of this example, "English B1") on your dashboard.

Your student will automatically receive a confirmation email, and the class will now appear on your dashboard and your student's dashboard.

6.4 - Creating Courses

This section applies to schools where teachers have the permission to create classes or courses.

If you want to create regular classes on a set schedule, it's possible to do so all at once, rather than creating the classes individually. Again, click on "+ Add Class" on your teacher dashboard, but this time select "Add course schedule."

What is the "Recurring schedule" option?

A course is a series of connected classes, with the same students enrolled each time. A recurring schedule is a series of unconnected students. This allows you to create a set of empty classrooms in bulk, and then enrol different students into each one individually or allow them to choose a group class with available spaces

Setting up a course is the same as setting up a class, but we will also need to add a schedule. To do so, click on "+ Add schedule". You will need to choose the frequency and number of occurrences. Each occurrence is one class, not one week, so in the example below, we are creating a 4-week course with 2 classes per week.

It is possible to choose the end date instead of the occurrences, but occurrences are more recommended, as it makes life easier in terms of class credits. Remember that your students need enough class credits to be enrolled into the full course.

When you click on "Save" you will be brought to the course menu, from where it is possible to further edit your course, enrol students, and add or delete classes.

You will also see the classes appearing on your teacher dashboard. To return to the course menu, click on this icon, beside the class title:
