Create a classroom

Before you start

You need to be the admin of a Github organization. If that sentence stressed you out, don’t worry. You can make one in about 30 seconds.

Step 1: Basic info

Head to app.classmoji.io and click Create new class.

Fill in the following:

• Github organization: only orgs where you’re admin with the Classmoji app installed will appear. If you haven’t installed the app yet, you can do it directly from the dropdown.
• Classroom name: something like “CS 101” or “Intro to Systems”
• Term and year: Fall, Spring, Summer, or Winter

A slug is auto-generated from your inputs (e.g. cs-101-25f). This becomes the classroom’s URL and can’t be changed later. Pick something readable — you’ll be typing it all semester.

Step 2: Import modules (optional)

If you’ve run this class before, you can pull modules from a previous classroom. Toggle the import on, pick a source classroom, and select which modules to bring over. Deadlines come in blank so you can set new ones without touching everything else.

A few things to know:

• Deadlines are stripped on import
• Modules and quizzes start unpublished, so nothing is visible to students right away

If this is your first rodeo, skip it.

Step 3: Review and create

Give everything a final look and hit Create classroom. You’ll land on the admin dashboard.
