Use a unique course title

Naming the course so that your students can identify the title, section, and semester can help avoid confusion when they register. The course title is the only identifier your students will see, so we recommend being as specific as possible!

Invite your students


To invite users to your course, you have two options:

  1. Send or post a private group join link. To get this link, click the "Users" tab, and click the "Invite Users" button. Then, copy and paste the group join link on the left to a place that your students will see it (like a syllabus or course web page).
  2. Send an invitation directly via email. To send individual invitations, click the "Users" tab, and click the "Invite Users" button. Enter each user's email address here and click "Send Invitations."
