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:
Log in to your Kognity account and go to the "Admin area".
A. How to Add a New Student
To add individual students to the system or to a class:
From the Admin Dashboard, navigate to the 'Students' tab.
Click on the "Add student" option.
Complete all required details for the student, such as School, Year group, Email, First name, and Last name.
B. How to Add a New Class
To create a new class within Kognity:
From the Admin Dashboard, navigate to 'Classes' tab.
Click on 'Add class.'
Complete all required details, including School, Class name, Subject, and End date.
C. Managing Existing Classes (for Admin Teachers)
The Classes page allows admins to dive deeper into class-level data — including student performance and assessment insights — to better support teachers with adoption and pedagogical alignment.
For each class, you can view:
School
Teachers
Number of students
End date
Use the search bar to find a specific class, or use the filters to narrow results by school, subject, or class status. To create a new class, use the Create class button in the top right.
By clicking the class name you enter the class, acting as a teacher. This view allows you to:
Access the Insights feature that provides both class-level and student-level performance insights
Access the full Kognity learning material connected to the class
Access the Assignment feature to view and create assignments for the class
To the right of the list of classes, the Actions (⋮) menu gives you quick access to:
Visit class – enter the class directly
Go to class insights – jump straight to the Insights feature
Go to class members – view the students and teachers in the class
Delete class – remove 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.
