Only school administrators are able to configure event types. This can be done under the Groups tab of the Admin section, under Group types, where the event categories can be edited.

On your group or class overview page, directly below the title, you will see the “Add Event” button. If you click that you will be able to add a group or class event, such as a football match or a piano rehearsal.

On your class overview page, directly below the title, you will see the “New Assignment” button. If you click that you will be able to create a new assignment for your class, attach relevant files to that assignment, and notify your students automatically once it has been created.

On your Dashboard page, above the Next 2 Weeks table, you will see the “Add Event” button. If you click that you will be able to add a personal event, such as a doctor’s appointment or meeting.

When a To-Do list is linked to an event or an assignment, users will be able to stay better organized. This feature is great for breaking down a large multi-step assignment into individual steps (e.g. an outline for the Extended Essay, a first draft, a second draft, and a final copy).

The drop-box feature allows students to submit homework assignments securely. Teachers are able to track student submissions, download them individually, or in aggregate as a bundled zip file.

On the add event page, simply tick the “Notify via MyMessages” checkbox, and members will receive a notification in their message inbox informing them that a new event has been created.

On the new assignment page, simply tick the “Notify via MyMessages” checkbox, and students will receive a notification in their message inbox informing them that they have a new assignment.
