What's Changing?
We're introducing a new Classes feature that makes it easier to share lessons with your students and track their progress.
Important: Assignments will be removed after October 22nd 2025
We recommend you stop creating Assignments now in order to transition over to Classes smoothly. Assignments created with due dates after October 22nd will no longer be playable.
Why Upgrade to Classes?
The Old Way (Assignments)
Create a lesson
Create an assignment for that specific lesson
Share the assignment link with students
Repeat steps 2-3 for every new lesson you want to share
The New Way (Classes)
Create a class once
Invite your students to the class once
Share any lesson with that class instantly
Students automatically get access to all shared lessons and can view them on their homepage.
Key Benefits of Classes
✅ Set Up Once, Use Forever
Create your class roster once by inviting students via email or sharing an invite link. You never need to collect student information again.
✅ Instant Lesson Sharing
Share any lesson with your class in one click. No need to create individual assignments. Your students see all shared lessons on their homepage automatically.
✅ Better Tracking
Get reliable reports showing:
Which students have viewed the lesson
Who started and completed quizzes
Quiz scores and pass/fail rates
Engagement metrics and analytics
✅ Reusable Student Rosters
Use the same class throughout the semester or year. Share multiple lessons with one class without re-inviting students.
✅ Privacy & Organization
Students only see lessons shared with their classes
You can filter reports by class
Cleaner organization than managing individual assignments

You have two ways to invite students:

Students receive an email with a link to join
They sign up or log in and are automatically added to your class

What About My Existing Assignments?
Your existing assignments will continue to work until October 22nd 2025.
However, we recommend:
For new content: Use Classes instead of creating new assignments
For existing assignments: They'll keep working, but consider migrating to Classes for better organization
For active classes: Create a Class and invite your students now, then use it for all future sharing
Migrating Existing Assignments to Classes
If you want to migrate an existing assignment to Classes:
Create a class
Invite your students to the class
Share the lesson with that class (using the Share menu)
Students who join the class will have access to the lesson
You can archive or delete the old assignment if you no longer need it
Note: Student progress from assignments cannot be automatically migrated to class reports. Class reports only show activity from students who are members of the class.
Common Questions
Can I still create assignments?
Assignments are still available for now, however, we recommend using Classes for new sharing as they provide a better experience and we will be removing Assignments later.
Do students need to create accounts?
Yes, when students join a class, they create a Quizgecko account. This enables better tracking and allows them to access all lessons shared with their class. Students can use their email or sign in with Google.
Can I have multiple classes?
Yes! Create as many classes as you need (e.g., different periods, different courses, different semesters).
Can I share one lesson with multiple classes?
Absolutely! When sharing a lesson, you can select multiple classes. Each class will get access, and you can filter reports by class.
What if a student isn't in my class yet?
Just send them an invitation! They can join anytime using the email invitation or class invite link.
How do I remove a student from a class?
Open your class
Find the student in the Members list
Click Remove
The student will no longer have access to lessons shared with that class
Can students leave a class?
Currently, only teachers can remove students from classes. If a student wants to leave a class, they should contact you.
Is student data private?
Yes! Student information is only used for educational purposes within your classes. We don't share data with third parties, and students can request account deletion anytime. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What emails will students receive?
We respect student privacy and only send essential emails:
Emails we DO send:
Class invitation emails (when you invite them)
Password reset emails (if they request it)
Critical account or security notifications
Emails we DON'T send:
Marketing emails
Product updates or newsletters
Promotional content
Any non-essential communications
We never:
