Class Creation
Creating Classes
Prior to students gaining access to the platform, their teacher must first create a class and distribute the class code.
Admin please note – you must only make your own classes. As teachers make classes they will automatically show on your account.
Why create a class?
When a teacher creates a class on sciPAD Online, a class code is generated along with attached workbooks.
When a student enters this code during account creation or after logging in (If they have previously made an account), their workbook and class dashboard are generated automatically.
It’s important to note that when a student joins a class, it will take assigned school-wide seats for the specific workbook in use.
How to add a class?
Step 1.
- Navigate to the classes tab and click the Create your first class button in the centre (this moves to top right after the first class is made).
Step 2.
- Add your class name.
- Add your book by clicking book/s. In this step you can add multiple books to the class. The included books will show as green with a tick icon. Click again to remove a book.
Click Save.
Step 3.
You have created your online class. The class code is shown – this will be shared with students.
You will now need to set your class up for the first lesson as all content is locked by default.

Please note that a warning will appear if the school does not have enough seats for a particular workbook.

If a student changes classes, they must enter the class code for their new teacher.
The previous teacher can then remove the student from their class list.
If you have a special circumstance where some students are using different workbooks, you will need to create a separate class for each group or workbook and assign distinct class codes accordingly.
