Learn how to manage and add learning materials directly inside a classroom, including creating new content or importing from your library.

What is the Learning Materials Tab?

The Learning Materials tab is where you manage all study resources available to students in a specific classroom.

From this tab, you can:

  • Create new learning materials for this classroom
  • Add existing materials from your My Materials library
  • View and manage all content shared with students

Accessing the Learning Materials Tab

  1. Go to the My Classroom page.
  2. Click on a classroom card to open it.
  3. Select the Learning Materials tab from the top navigation bar.

Page Overview

Inside the Learning Materials tab, you’ll find:

  • A summary section showing total materials and other stats
  • A + Add Material button to add or create content
  • A list of material cards, each representing one learning resource
  • A three-dot (⋯) menu on each card for quick actions

You can click on any card to view details in a preview modal.


Adding a Material

Click the + Add Material button to open a menu with two options:

1. Create New Material

This option opens a creation form directly within the classroom page.

The form includes:

  • File Upload – attach the learning file (PDF, video, image, etc.)
  • Title – name of the learning material
  • Description – short summary for students
  • Overview – more detailed information about the content

After filling the form:

  • Click Save to create the material
  • Click Cancel to discard

💡 Any new material created here will automatically be saved to your My Materials library, so you can reuse it later in other classrooms.


2. Add from Library

If you already have materials saved in your My Materials library:

  1. Click Add from Library.
  2. You’ll be redirected to your My Materials page.
  3. Use the circle checkboxes to select one or more materials.
  4. Click Add to Room when you’re done selecting.

The selected materials will instantly appear inside the classroom’s Learning Materials tab.

📘 You can select multiple materials at once, making it fast to prepare a full lesson set.


Managing Materials Inside a Classroom

Each material appears as a card in the classroom.
You can click the three-dot (⋯) button to access two management options:

1. Edit Material

Opens the same material editing form.
You can update the file, title, or descriptions directly from here.

⚠️ Changes made here will also update the material in your My Materials library** and in all classrooms** that share the same content.


2. Remove from Room

This option removes the material only from the current classroom.
The item will remain safe in your My Materials library**, so you can re-add it later if needed.


Viewing Material Details

Clicking on a material card opens a preview modal showing:

  • The learning file preview
  • The title, description, and overview
  • When it was added and by whom

Students will see the same details (minus teacher-only controls).


Tips for Managing Classroom Materials

  • Use clear and descriptive titles so students can easily find their resources.
  • Reuse materials from your library to save time when setting up new classes.
  • Remove outdated materials regularly to keep the classroom clean and relevant.
