The Manage Students Panel
If you don’t see any students yet, you need to have your students follow the STUDENT QUICKSTART PROCESS to signup and join your community (class)
OOPS! If your students have already signed up, you also need to APPROVE their class community access in your Activity Feed! Once your students have signed up and been approved for your class community, they will show in the Manage Students area.
