  5. Click Save Changes.

The file settings box with the private switch and Release Date

To plan a term, upload all your handouts at the start, each with its own release date. Each file appears for students at its release date and time. This also applies inside a lesson: a file in a lesson stays hidden until its release date, whatever date the lesson has. A private file never appears.

The same ... menu also lets you Rename, Move or Delete a file. ren. asks Delete this file? You can't undo this.; click Delete to confirm or Keep to cancel. Deleting a folder deletes everything inside it.

Create a lesson​

  2. Click Create Lesson at the top right. The Create New Lesson box opens.
  3. Type a Title, for example Kinematics.

  6. Click Create Lesson. A card for the lesson appears.

Each card shows the date and how many resources and assignments it holds.
