How do I set up a new class in Unrulr?

These instructions are for teachers who already have an account in Unrulr. If you are setting up Unrulr for the first time, see How do I set up Unrulr?

Step 1. Sign into the Teacher Dashboard

1. Using your browser, go to https://admin.unrulr.com/#/login
2. Click "Sign In with Google"
3. Sign in with the account you're using with Unrulr.
   • This is usually your school account.

Step 2. Create Your New Class/Group

Create your group by either importing a class from Google Classroom or manually building it.

To create your group via Google import:

1. Click the green icon next to "Import new group via Google Classroom.
2. Allow Unrulr to have access to your Google Classroom account.
3. Choose the class to sync.

 To create your class/group manually:

1. Click the "Build" button in the "Manually Add Users" box.
2. Enter the name of your class/group.
3. Optionally enter the section and description of your class/group.
4. Enter the emails of the members in the class/group.
   • For each email you enter, select student, teacher, or observer.
     • Teachers have special abilities. They can:
       • be shared with separately from student peers
       • give assessments that are tabulated separately from those of student peers
       • moderate posts
       • make administrative changes to the group
     • Observers can see all posts shared with the group, but can take no actions
   • If you are the teacher for the group, make sure you add yourself as a teacher to the group.
   • All emails you enter must be connected to Google or Microsoft accounts.
   • You may type or paste in more than one address at once. (If all of your addresses are in a column of a spreadsheet, you can copy the column and paste it into the box.)
   • You can always add more members later.
   • The accounts you add will get no invitation from the system. The members are able to sign into Unrulr immediately upon completion of your setup.
5. Click "NEXT" in the upper right of the page.

Step 3. Add Cogs to Your Group

Every post in Unrulr is tagged with one or more cogs. By adding cogs to a group, these cogs become available for tagging by the students in that class. Students must have cogs in order to be able to post.

1. Look for the group you just created in the list and click it.
2. Click “EDIT” in the upper right of the page.
3. Click the plus icon to the right of “Cogs”.
4. Choose the cog set you’d like to add to this class by clicking on the blue plus to the right of the set.

If you'd like to create your own cogs, click the "Create Cogs" button at the top of the Add Cogs page

and follow these directions: How do I create my own cogs?

Step 4. Start Using your new Group with Students
