How to make a new class

Create a class to organize users into a class, extracurricular club, faculty group, and more.

Classes are the best way to organize access to activities for different groups of users in Flint. By creating a class for each classes you teach, club you lead, etc., you can create a space to put activities you'd like to share with a designated subset of people in your workspace.

Classes can be automatically created to align with rosters through an LMS/SIS import, but sometimes you might want to create additional classes. This guide will show you how.

You can create top-level, standalone groups in Flint or you can make subclasses within the existing class.

• Standalone classes can be made via the sidebar on your homepage, the "My activities" page, or on an existing class page.

• Subclasses can be made via the page of the existing class. The existing classes you've made/joined can be found in the sidebar on the homepage. You can also move classes to be nested under a parent class after creating it by adjusting the "Share class" settings, as shown later in this guide.

Here's how to do it:

1. Click "Add a class"

2. Add your class name and adjust any settings

3. Click "Create"

4. Share the class

   1. You can send as a public link for anyone to click on
   2. You can make the link private and add the emails of the student you want to join.
   3. If you want to have a co-teacher, add them as a member so they have access to edit the class as well.

5. Your class will now show on the left side of your home screen.
