Add, Remove or Archive Students in a Course

You can add, remove or archive students assigned to your course.

Add Students

Tip

We recommend using the Invitation URL method because students can simply open the URL to join the correct course in your organization.

To add a student to your course, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Courses page and select the course to open it.

2. Click the Students tab.

3. Turn on the Joining by Invitation toggle.

   • Copy the multi-word token and send it to your students. Ask them to go to Join Course on the Codio website, enter the token, and then sign in or create a Codio account.

   • Copy the URL and send to your students. Instruct them to simply click the URL and register their Codio account.

   • Students who have been added are displayed on the Students page for the course.

Note

• Tokens are only available when LTI is turn off.

• While tokens do not expire, they are only open for a month. It is possible to turn them off earlier.

• Once turned off, no new students can join the course, students already enrolled will remain enrolled.

Warning

Students cannot be enrolled while the organization is in trial mode. Please ensure your organization has an active subscription before adding students.

Add Test Students

You may view your course using the special student accounts Codio creates for you. There are three test student accounts within your organization that allow you to view content from the student perspective.

1. Navigate to the Courses page and select the course to open it.

2. Click the Students tab and click the Add test student button.

3. You will now see three test students displayed on the Students page for the course.

4. Now that you have added test students, you are able to log in as one of the test students by pressing the Login as button. Please note that this is only available for the special test student accounts.

Note

When logged in as a test student, you will see a bar at the top of the window indicating you are logged in as a test student. You can switch back to your main teacher account by selecting Switch back to teacher’s account.

Remove Students

To remove a student from a course, follow these steps:

4. Students can rejoin the course using any of the options above. Students who originally enrolled using the course token or URL link will continue to have access through those methods. To revoke access via the original token, simply regenerate it by clicking the circular arrow icon next to the token name this will deactivate the old token and create a new one.
