Set up a class and share it

Create a class, mint group codes, and share them with students so they can join.

What a class is

In AIPLA a class is a container you own. It has:

  • one or more group codes — the short codes students type to join. Students do not create accounts and do not log in; the group code is all they need.
  • the activities you assign to it (guide T2).
  • a tutor — who teaches this class: its name, picture, voice, tone and teaching approach, in one choice. Leave the default or change it later.

Everything below is done in your browser. You do not need a developer.

Step 1 — Create the class

From your teacher area, open Classes and select New class. Give the class a name — for example, "Physik 2.g, autumn 2026" — and, optionally, a short description. Select Create.

The New class form: a name and an optional description.

Your new class now appears in the class list, alongside any others you own.

The class list shows each class with its group codes, activities and tutor.

Step 2 — Mint a group code

Open the class with Manage. A new class has no group codes yet, so select New group. AIPLA generates a short code and copies it to your clipboard.

Selecting New group mints a code students use to join.

You can mint more than one group code for the same class — for example, one per table group or per lab pair — so you can tell their work apart in reports.

Step 3 — Share the code with students

Give students the group code. They open the student link, type the code, and they are in — no login, no personal account (see S1 — Join and use your tutor). Anything they do is grouped under that code, so your class reports stay organised.

Next steps

  • Build the first activity for this class — T2 — Create your first activity.
  • Add curriculum documents the tutor can draw on — T3 — Add and organise curriculum materials.
