Using Course Planner
The Course Planner helps teachers curate their units of work for each class on a term-by-term basis, and assign directly from the Course Planner. This streamlined, clear workflow supports teachers by offering a visible overview of assignments, helping them track and oversee assigned work more easily.
In this article, we’ll explain how to access it and use it.
What’s happening?
Our Course Planner allows teachers to curate topics from Discover, and organise them into a sequence for each class. Teachers can plan their content term-by-term, ensuring they cover everything needed for their school’s specific scope and sequence.
Once topics are added to the Course Planner, teachers can assign them either individually or collectively directly from the Courses area.
How can I access it?
In each Class view, you’ll see the Course tab which features four “swimlanes” to help teachers organise and assign content for the academic year.
What can I do with it?
Curate courses
Click Add Topic to browse and select topics to include in your Course Planner. Click into any topic to see what assessments and activities are included, then click Add to class to add it. Continue browsing and add as many as required (you can rearrange or remove them in the next step).
Organise topics
Click and drag a topic to rearrange the order or move it to a different timeframe. Click into a topic, then any activity to preview it.
Assign single or multiple topics
Teachers can assign single or multiple lessons and assessments to students directly from the Course Planner. By assigning from Courses, teachers can better track which content has been assigned, helping educators stay on top of learning progressions and outcomes.
Sharing courses
To share curated course content with your classes or school, simply click the ‘Share’ button. Select the class you’d like to share with, then click ‘Share’ again to confirm.
This feature is especially helpful when multiple classes are working on the same material or when Heads of Department want all classes to follow a consistent scope and sequence.
Feedback
