All students on Kerboodle will have default access to all the courses to which your school subscribes. Once the administrator has imported students and groups onto Kerboodle, you can create smaller teaching groups within individual courses for assessment and reporting purposes. You can use these teaching groups to reflect your different classes or sets.
There are two different types of teaching group: a Manual group and a Self Sign-up Group.
A Manual Group allows you to select a number of students from a single year.
A Self Sign-up Group requires the students to sign themselves up. You generate a code on Kerboodle, pass this out to your students and they can then enter this when they enter the course to sign themselves up.
Please note the code created must be at least 7 characters long.
Note: If you want to add students from multiple year groups to a teaching group, you will need to create a Self Sign-up Group.
