Step 2: Accessing the Educator Landing Page
Once you are logged in, click your initials in the upper-right portion of the web page, and you will be taken to the Educator Portal.
It will look like this:
Step 3: Creating Assignments
Your next step is to create assignments. Once you have created assignments, you can add them to courses and sections.
- On the Educator Portal, just scroll down to “My Assignments” and click on the box
- Click on “Create Assignment Template”
- Select a playlist curated by the Bill of Rights Institute and add it to an assignment.
Just click “Browse BRI Playlists in the Resource Library.”
- Click the plus icon button in the upper-right corner of the playlist. Then click add to Assignment.
- If you want to review a playlist first, you can simply click on the playlist, review the resources, and add to an assignment at that point.
- Click “Create New” in the bottom-right corner.
- Fill in the assignment parameters and save.
Congratulations! You have just created an assignment.
Step 4: Creating Courses
Now that you have created an assignment, you can create a course and add the assignment to it.

- Now Click on Create Course.
- Select the assignments you want to add.
- Enter all pertinent course details and save.
That’s it! You have just created a course with assignments.
Step 5: Creating Sections
You have now created a course with assignments attached to it. If you have multiple sections of the same course (such as first period, fourth period, etc.) you can create customizable sections.
- Return to the educator landing page, find “My Sections,” and click on the box.
- Next, click on “Create Section.”
- You will now see the courses you have created, and you can select the course you want to build a section for.
- Once you select a course, you will see the assignments attached to it. You have the option to remove certain assignments from particular course sections if you choose.
- Next, you can add start dates and due dates for assignments.
- Finally, add the pertinent information for the section, such as section name (i.e., Middle School History, First Period) and start and end dates for the class.
- Click “Create Section,” and you’re finished! You have now created a course section with assignments and due dates attached.
