Run your first live lesson

Assign an activity to a class, let students join with the code, and watch every answer and drawing arrive on your screen as they work.

You need one class and one activity. If you do not have them yet, start with Create your first class and Create your first activity.

  1. 1

    Open your class

    Go to Classes and open the class you are teaching.

  2. 2

    Choose the activity

    Under Assign an activity, pick it from Choose an activity….

  3. 3

    Choose how students move through it

    Self-paced: students work at their own pace, then submit. One by one: you move through the questions and the whole class sees the same one. Practice: flashcards and a quiz with instant answers for self-study, not graded.

  4. 4

    Start

    Click Assign and watch live. The live view opens.

  5. 5

    Let students in

    Students go to join.learnworkly.com and enter the class code shown at the top of the live view. Click it (or Show join screen) to open a full-screen join screen with a QR code and a Copy join link button.

    Watch the answers

    Students who have joined appear in the live view. Their answers, drawings and photos appear as they work, and automatically marked questions show a score straight away.

Useful controls in the live view

  • Hide names hides student names when you share your screen with the class.

Frequently asked questions

Do students need to install anything?

No. They use a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.

A student closed the tab. Is their work lost?

No. Answers are saved as they work. On the same device they come back by opening the join page again; on another device they use their personal link.

Can I use the same assignment as homework afterwards?

Yes. With Self-paced you can set a due date, time limit and attempts in Options. See Set homework.
