Kognity Administrators have the flexibility to create new classes and add students directly to the system or existing classes based on their preferences. This guide explains how to manage these tasks within the platform.


Important Consideration Before Deleting Data

Please be aware: If you delete any classes or remove a student's access from the platform, critical information such as homework, assignments, and progress data could be permanently lost. It's crucial to keep this in mind before performing any deletion actions.

Step-by-Step Guide for Admins

To perform these actions, please follow the initial navigation step and then proceed to the relevant section below:

  1. Access 'Manage School': Log into your Kognity account and go to the 'Manage School' section, located at the top right of your page.

To add individual students to the system or to a class:

  1. From the 'Manage School' section, navigate to 'Manage students'.

  2. Click on the "Add student" option.

    Kognity 'Manage students' page. The 'Add student' button's dropdown is open, highlighting 'Add individual student'.

  3. Complete all required details for the student, including their Email address, First name, Last name, and yearclass.

    Kognity 'Add student' popup form. Fields for student details like email and name are visible, with the 'Add Student' button highlighted.

B. How to Add a New Class

To create a new class within Kognity:

  1. From the 'Manage School' section, navigate to 'Manage Classes'.

  2. Click on 'Add class.'

C. Managing Existing Classes (for Admin Teachers)

The 'Manage Classes' section allows Admin Teachers to search for, browse, and view all classes within the school. Here, you will find comprehensive details for each class, including:

  • A list of all enrolled students.

  • The teacher(s) assigned to the class.

It is also possible within this section for Admin Teachers to add additional students and teachers to their existing classes, as well as edit the class name, end date and delete the class.

Next Steps After Setup

Once you have completed any of these setup steps, teachers will be able to find their assigned subjects and access all resources from their side of the platform. They can then begin utilizing Kognity Textbooks, Assignments, Insights, and collaborate effectively with their classes.
