To create a new class:

  1. Login to the Teacher Dashboard and select Manage > Classes

  2. Click on Add class in the top right hand corner of the screen

  3. Enter the year group and class name and press Save


To add multiple students to a class:

For any new students arriving at the school, you will need to create new student accounts.

Please ensure you only do this for new students arriving at the school. Please don't create new accounts for students who have used Doodle in previous years!

  1. Login to the Teacher Dashboard

  2. Select Manage > Students

  3. Click on the yellow Create student account(s) button

  4. Select Create several student accounts

  5. Select the class that you would like to add the students to (students can be added to multiple classes) and tap Add students

  6. Download the class file template by clicking on the blue download button

  7. Once downloaded, check your downloads file on your computer & fill out the template in the correct format (be sure to save the changes you make on your device and upload the newly saved file)

  8. Once you've done this, add your file into the upload box on the right

  9. Once uploaded a green Upload successful box will appear underneath

  10. Your students' details will then appear in the box below, once you're happy with then press Check followed by Confirm changes

  11. The students will then have been successfully added and their login slips will be downloaded to your computer automatically. Make sure you save these somewhere secure for future reference as passwords will not be viewable on the Teacher Dashboard after this time.

If you just need to add an individual student account you can do this by following these steps.

  • Usernames need to be unique across the platform

  • There can be no duplicate usernames within a class

  • Usernames cannot contain spaces

  • Usernames need to be a minimum of 4 characters
