Creating a class

A class in Ostrol is a group of students plus the assignments you give them and the progress you can see. This guide is for teachers; if you're an admin onboarding learners across the whole org, start with Inviting students.

Create the class

  1. Sign in and go to /teach/classes
  2. Click New class
  3. Fill in:
    • Class name (visible to students)
    • Subject (algebra, calculus, statistics — used for default templates)
    • Term (optional; helps you archive old classes later)
  4. Click Create

We generate a join code like MAT101-A automatically. You can change it to something memorable.

Add students

Three options:

  • Share the join code. Students paste it at /join and they're in.
  • Share a join link. Same thing as the code, but one click.
  • Upload a CSV roster. Use the template under Class → Roster → Import CSV (same format as in Inviting students). If a student isn't already in your org, we send them an invitation email automatically.

You can mix and match — add half by code, half by CSV. The roster updates in real time.

Assign a problem

In any solve, click Share → Assign to class and pick the class. Students see the problem in their /learn/assignments view. You can also:

  • Set a due date
  • Restrict which engine level they're allowed to use (e.g. force Standard to prevent over-reliance on Research)
  • Toggle show solution — off for graded work, on for practice sets

Check progress

The Class → Progress tab shows, per student: assignments completed, time spent, and the verification badge breakdown across all their solves. You'll see at a glance who's getting mismatch badges often (a signal they're stuck or guessing) and who's breezing through.

You won't see your students' personal solve history — only what they did within the class.

Archive a class

At the end of a term, click Class settings → Archive. The class becomes read-only and slides into the archive tab; you keep all data for as long as your org subscription is active.
