It's essential to set the tone 🎤 for your classes starting on the first day of class. We're here to help you get started with confidence and ease.
STEP 1: Create a Course
STEP 2: Invite Members
There are two ways to invite your students to join a course.
Via a CSV file following our template
Via a Course code
Invite members to your course following these steps.
STEP 3: Add CampusKnot as a Course Required Software
CampusKnot can be included as courseware material through your campus bookstore initiatives, similar to a textbook or homework platform. Follow the steps here.
STEP 4: Determine participation points for the semester
We recommend attaching points to CampusKnot. Our instructors typically set 10%-15% of their semester grade towards participation. It's essential for students to clearly understand their responsibilities and learn which tools they should use during the semester.
To help you kick things off, we suggest starting small your first semester with two or three features that best resonate with your teaching style. Here are a few options to start your semester. First, the perfect trifecta (Attendance, Polls, and Feeds), or maybe, venture into feedback galore🦄 (Feeds and Polls). You decide!
