Ready to start creating Classwork.com activities? We'll get you started in five short minutes!

⭐ Prepare Your Document and Sign In to Classwork.com⭐

First, let's sign in.

  • Create your document and save it as a PDF. (This can be e.g. a Google Slide presentation or a Word document)
At the bottom of this article, you'll find an attached PDF you can practice with. Use it here and in other Getting Started guides.
  • Visit https://www.classwork.com and click the "Login" link in the upper right
  • Enter your username and password or use the convenient "Sign In With Google" link if you're set up for that.


⭐ Create a New Activity ⭐

You're now viewing your Classwork.com home page, or what we like to call the Digital File Cabinet. It's where you see the list of all your activities. Let's create a new one! If this is your first time, and you've never created one, you'll jump right to the "This pop up will appear" section without even clicking the New button. We make everything easy!

  • In the top left, click the green “+ New” button.
  • You will have three choices. You can create a New Activity, a New Folder, or Import Multiple Activities. For now, choose "New Activity."


  • This pop up will appear. You can choose to upload a file, use AI to generate original materials, or start from scratch. 


  • You're going to build activity from an existing PDF, so click "UPLOAD a file and work with it."
  • Choose the file to upload from your computer or from Google Drive.
  • You can also just drag a file and drop it onto that option to begin the upload.
⭐ Choose Your Pages ⭐

The computer will process your file for a second, then you'll choose the pages and how you'd like them to display.


  • Choose the pages from the thumbnails by clicking each page you want to include.
  • The pages you choose will be checked and highlighted in blue.
  • Click "Submit" to continue.

Classwork.com will create your new activity and open the Activity Editor for you.

⭐ Name Your Activity ⭐
You will need to give your activity a title.
  • Click the pencil next to "Edit Activity: Untitled Activity"

 

  • Enter the title of your activity.
  • Click "Save".
⭐⭐⭐ Next... ⭐⭐⭐
