Manage your roster – Podsie

Use Rosters to manage the students and teachers in each class.

Open a class

Choose your course from the course menu in the left navigation.

Select Rosters.

Select a class in the side panel.

The roster lists each student’s name, email address, and AI tutor status. Check the selected class before you change a student’s membership.

The roster shows the class code, student names, tutor access, and class controls.

Share the class code

Select the green code beside Class code to copy it. Share this code with students who need to join the class.

Each class has its own code. For example, students in Period 1 should use the Period 1 code.

Create or rename a class

Select Create class.

Choose a Course.

Enter a Class Name, such as “Period 2.”

Select Create class in the dialog.

Podsie opens the new class after it is created. You can then copy its class code.

To rename an existing class, open Edit Class and select Edit Class Name. Enter the new name and save it.

Change a student’s name or class

Open the three-dot menu in the student’s Actions column.

A student’s action menu offers name changes, tutor access, transfers, and removal from the class.

Select Edit name to correct the student’s name.

To move one student:

Select Transfer to another class.

Choose the destination class.

Select Transfer.

To move several students, select their checkboxes and use Transfer students. Choose a destination class before you confirm the transfer. A student who is already enrolled in the destination class cannot be transferred there again.

To remove a student from this class, select Remove from class. Check the student shown in the confirmation, then select Remove. This removes the class enrollment; the student’s account remains.

Set AI tutor access

The AI tutor column shows whether each student can use the AI tutor.

Open the student’s three-dot Actions menu.

Select Turn AI tutor on or Turn AI tutor off.

Read the confirmation.

Select Turn on or Turn off.

Turning access off takes effect immediately, including work the student has already started. Turning it on lets the student ask the tutor in assignments.

The confirmation explains AI tutor access before you turn it on.

To change several students together:

Select the students’ checkboxes.

Select Set AI tutor access.

Choose whether access is on or off.

Save the change.

The AI tutor is an early feature and can make mistakes. Consider whether it is appropriate for your students.

Add a co-teacher

The class owner can give another teacher access to the class.

Open Edit Class.

Select Add Co-Teacher.

Enter the teacher’s email in Teacher Email.

Choose Viewer or Editor under Access.

Select the green plus button.

The Add Teacher to Class dialog lets the owner choose Viewer or Editor access.

The Teachers with access list shows each teacher’s role. Viewers can view the class. Editors can change the class name and manage students. The owner manages teacher access and can delete the class.

Leave or delete a class

A co-teacher can use Leave Class to remove their own access.

The owner sees Delete Class. Use this only when you intend to remove the whole class. Check the confirmation before you continue.
