1. LIBRARY
The Library is the landing page of The KWL Hub. Here you will find all the eBooks and courses you have registered on the platform, along with a side menu—available in every view—that lets you access the rest of the platform’s features. The Library is a central part of The KWL Hub, and its design has been updated to provide a more modern and intuitive experience.
Key features of the Library include:

1. CREATING AN ACCOUNT IN THE KWL HUB 4. ASSIGN HISTORY
On this page, you can view all previously assigned content, see which students the content was assigned to, and unassign content whenever it is no longer required.
Here, the system will display a list of each class, group, or student to which content has been assigned in the past, or each book or course that has been assigned, depending on the tab selected. When you click “View Assigned,” a menu will open showing every previous assignment for the selected item.
To undo an assignment, select the assignment you wish to remove and then click the “Unassign” button at the bottom of the pop-up.
BULK UNASSIGN:
Another feature of this page is the “Bulk Unassign” button. This option allows you to remove multiple assignments at once, without needing to select them from each individual book.
From here, you can select any number of assignments you wish to revoke and then click “Unassign” to remove them all.
1. CREATING AN ACCOUNT IN THE KWL HUB 5. MANAGE ASSIGNMENTS
Creating and managing assignments is one of the core features of our site, so we improved its design to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. To begin using this feature, navigate to “Assignments” in the left sidebar and then click on “Create Assignment” to access this page.
Here’s what you can find on this page:

ASSIGNMENT CARD:
On an assignment card, you can find all relevant information, such as the assignment type, the students it is assigned to, the selected due date, and more. You can also access the assignment options, as well as the “Assign” button.
To assign an assignment to one or more students, click the “Assign” button on the assignment card.
A pop-up will appear showing to whom the assignment will be assigned, the available and due dates, and the option to allow submission after the due date. Once you are satisfied with these settings, click “Save” to complete the process.
In addition to assigning, the hamburger menu includes other useful options, such as editing the assignment, starring it, or sharing it.

7. GRADEBOOK
One of our main new features is the addition of the “Gradebook” tab; a dashboard for sections that need to be accessed frequently. To open it, navigate to “Assignments” and click on “Gradebook.”
From this page, you can access class performance reports, assignments that currently require grading, and a list of all students enrolled in your classes.
8. GRADING ASSIGNMENTS
After a student submits an assignment, it is time to grade it. The KWL Hub includes features designed to make this process seamless, fast, and efficient. To access assignments that require grading, navigate to “Assignments” and click “Assignments to grade.” This section can also be accessed from the “Gradebook.”
Here you can view all ungraded assignments within a selected timeframe. Using the filters at the top, you can modify the date range, select the classes or students who submitted the assignments, or search for a specific assignment.
To grade an assignment, click its name. You will be redirected to the assignment page, where you can review the student’s answers and provide a grade or feedback.
Once you finish grading each activity, you will see the bottom menu.
Here you can provide feedback for the entire assignment and submit it. If additional assignments are pending grading, you can move to the next one. You also have the option to reassign it to the same student if needed.:
After you submit a correction or reassign the task, the student will receive a notification on their home page.
1. CREATING AN ACCOUNT IN THE KWL HUB 9. MANAGE ROSTER
Our new design makes roster management easier. We have divided rostering into three sections:
CLASS MANAGEMENT
To view and manage the classes you are currently associated with, navigate to “Roster” and click on “My classes.”
Here you can see each class you are assigned to, as well as all other classes. A search bar is available for quick access. For each class, you can view:
• Its physical location (Section and Room).
• The number of users. You can also click on the number—or on the class name— to see a detailed list of all students enrolled in the class, along with basic information about them.
• The content currently assigned to the class.
• The option to associate or disassociate yourself from the class.
• A token that students can use to enroll in the class, as well as the status of that token. You must provide this code to each student you wish to enroll in your class.
• Additional options, such as sharing the class, editing it, or sending a notification to all students in the class.
The final option available is the creation of a new class. To access it, click the “Add Class” button above the table. When you do, a pop-up will appear asking you to enter a class name. Once you’re done, click “Confirm,” and the class will be created.
STUDENT MANAGEMENT
Here you will find information about all of your students. To access this menu, navigate to “Roster” and click on “My Students.”
On this page, you can view information about each student, such as full name, username, assigned content, and the class they are enrolled in. You can also perform useful actions, such as impersonating a student, which allows you to see the platform from their perspective as if you were logged into their account. You can also search for a specific student by entering their name or username.
The two buttons at the top are used to add new students. If you select “Bulk Upload,” you will be able to quickly add multiple students to the platform. The steps are explained on the page, and a template is provided to help minimize errors.
If you need to add individual students, you can use the “Add Student” feature. When you select it, a page will display a form with fields to complete. Once you’re done, click “Submit” to add the student to the system, or “Save and add new” if you need to manually add multiple students.
GROUP MANAGEMENT
Groups are selections of students, not necessarily from the same class, that you can notify and assign content to as a unit. To access your groups, navigate to “Roster” and click on “Groups.”
Here you can see the groups you’ve created, the number of students in each group, the content assigned to each group, and the options to edit, notify, or delete a group.
To create a new group, click the “Add Group” button. A prompt will appear asking for a name and the students you want to add to the group. Once you have added all the students, click “Save” to create the group.
Editing a group works in a similar way. When you click “Edit Group,” you can change the group name or modify the list of students in it.
1. CREATING AN ACCOUNT IN THE KWL HUB 10. SKILLS REPORT
The most significant feature introduced with the new user interface is the Performance Report*, a tool that allows teachers to view detailed information about each student’s performance, organized by the key aspects of every completed assignment. This powerful tool helps teachers identify the areas in which students excel and those that may require additional support
ASSIGNMENT
AND PERFORMANCE REPORT:
To access this feature, navigate to “Skills Report” and click the first option. The following window will appear:
Here you can see a summary of the skills being tracked, each accompanied by a pie chart showing what percentage of students have met the criteria set for that skill. You can make this search more precise by specifying a certain timeframe, class, or assignment. Below the pie charts, you will find a summary table that connects students with their performance in each area.
If you click on a pie chart, you will see a breakdown of that skill. This will take you to a page called Assignment Report, which can also be accessed through the menu on the left.
This report shows which assignment led to the score and how each student performed on the assignment.
You can also click on a student’s name to view their individual performance. This is the same as selecting them through the “Student’s Performance Report.”
Here you can see the average scores of the selected student in each tracked category. You can refine the search by specifying a timeframe, a class, or a specific set of assignments.
EXTERNAL APP INTEGRATIONS
The KWL Hub can connect to other learning platforms, such as Canvas or Google Classroom. For a more detailed guide on how to connect to these platforms, please refer to: https://kwlhub.elevio.help/en/categories/39-admin-guides
