Inviting Students
You can invite students directly to your Template from the Members Tab.
- You can add members one at a time by clicking on the Add Member button on the right. You can invite members via their email address and can specify what role you want them to have. Available roles are Collection Owner (you), Collection Editor (any one you want to have edit access), and Collection Participant (Learners).
- You can also add multiple members at once by clicking the Import from CSV button on the right. After clicking that button you will be able to access the required template and specify if you want members to be sent an invitation email upon upload.
Collection Code
Collection Codes give you a way to invite users to templates without the need to share long URLs. This is especially useful if you are sharing your template to users via a handout or whiteboard. Underneath the title of your Collection is the alphanumeric Collection code.
