Teacher Manual (Instructor)

Click Courses in the sidebar, or go to /instructor/courses. You see only courses where you are the teacher. Each row shows counts of enrolled students, materials, and sessions.

At the top there is a search box (type a course title and press Enter — it is a GET form) and grade pills like All plus each grade name. Click a grade pill to filter the list.

Click a course to open /instructor/courses/[id]. Inside CourseDetailTabs you get 5 tabs: Dashboard, Sessions, Editor (chapters and lessons), Materials, Settings. Your last tab is remembered on this device.

Inside your course, click the Editor tab. You see the list of chapters, each expandable to show its lessons.

Click Add Chapter. In the dialog, enter the chapter title, chapter number, and description, then click Save / Create. The new chapter appears in the list.

Expand the chapter, then click Add Lesson. Enter the lesson title, index number, and content. To attach a file, click Upload file (PDF, video, image) — while uploading the button shows Uploading.... Click Save. To change it later, click the pencil Edit Lesson button on that lesson.

Fast way: on the Dashboard tab click Upload Material — it jumps you to the Materials tab. Or click the Materials tab directly.

In CourseMaterialsManager, fill Title (and optional Description), click Upload File, choose a PDF, video, image, or document, and wait until it changes from Uploading... back to Upload File. The file appears in the “Uploaded” list below with date and type.

Two equal ways: (a) inside your course on the Dashboard tab click New Session, or (b) go to /instructor/sessions and click Create Session / New Session. Both open /instructor/sessions/new?course_id=... with the SessionForm.

Select Course (“Select a course”), type Session Title (example “Math - Chapter 3 Live Class”), optional Description (“What will be covered?”), pick Date and Time, and choose Duration (30 min, 45 min, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours).

Click Create Session. While saving it shows Creating.... On success you return to /instructor/sessions. If fields are missing you see “Please fill in all required fields”. Click Cancel to go back without saving.

Open /instructor/sessions. New classes appear under Upcoming; old ones move to Past. Click a session to open /instructor/sessions/[id] with the Meet link, student count, and attendance.

Go to /instructor/sessions, click the session title. You see stats, the Meet link code block, the enrolled list, and the AttendanceForm.

For speed, click Mark all Present or Mark all Absent, then fix exceptions by toggling individual students (Present / Absent toggle per row).

Click Save Attendance. Students see the result as attendance badges on /student/sessions and inside their course Sessions tab.

Click Students in the sidebar, or go to /instructor/students. At the top is a grade filter (All + each grade). As a teacher you see only students enrolled in your courses (enrolled-only); admin and manager see every student (view-all).

In StudentPageClient, type a name or email in the search box and press Enter. Click a student row to see their courses, progress %, and grades. From here you can jump to their course or start a chat.

From /instructor/sessions (Upcoming / Past) or from a course Sessions tab, click the session title or Attendance. Breadcrumb shows Sessions / Session title.

Course card (course title), Date card (weekday, month, day), Time card (hour:minute + duration in min). These come from the session you created.

Card titled Google Meet with text “Share this link with students to join the class” and a badge Active (upcoming) or Ended (past). The code block shows the Meet URL or “No Google Meet link generated”. If a link exists, click Join Meet to open it; otherwise you see No Link.

Card titled Attendance with “Mark students as present, absent, or late” and a count badge like 12 students. Inside AttendanceForm: use Mark all Present / Mark all Absent, fix exceptions per row (Present / Absent / Late), then click Save Attendance.

Buttons: New Session (opens /instructor/sessions/new?course_id=...), Add Chapter (opens chapter dialog), Upload Material (jumps to Materials tab). Below: 4 stat cards Enrolled, Avg Completion, Avg Rating (★), Materials (clickable — jumps to Materials tab). Top-right also has Chat and Unpublish.

Title Course Sessions + top-right Create Session. Empty state shows “No sessions yet — Create your first online class session” with a second Create Session button. Otherwise a table with columns Session (title + duration min), Date, Status (Completed / Started / Upcoming), Actions (Join or No Link + Attendance which opens /instructor/sessions/[id]).

Empty state: “No chapters yet. Add a chapter to get started.” Otherwise Course Content list: expand a chapter (chevron), read lessons in order, Add Lesson per chapter, pencil icon to edit, trash to delete.

Form: Title + Description fields, Upload File button (shows Uploading... while busy), helper text “Upload PDFs, videos, images, or documents”. Below: table header Uploaded with rows (name, type, date, delete X).

Edit title, descriptions, grade, thumbnail (Replace / Remove), and Visibility toggles (Upcoming, Featured, Self enrollment), then save. Only change what you need — saving refreshes the course page.

Open /instructor/settings. In GoogleCalendarSettings, click Connect Google Calendar, sign in with Google, and accept. When connected it shows “Connected”. Sessions you create can then carry a Meet link.

Open /instructor/chat, pick a conversation on the left, type at the bottom, and click Send. Direct link format: /instructor/chat?conversation=ID.
