If you have several different classes, you might find it useful to create a workbook for each specific class and name it appropriately. Then you can invite students from each class to their own class workbook.
​

Take note of the Invitation code for the workbook:

You can use this invitation code to invite students to your workbook and tasks, for example by writing it on the board in the classroom.

Or you can enter students’ email addresses in the box on your workbook page to invite them by email. If you send them an email by this method, you do not need to use the invitation code. The students you invite will receive an email with a link. When they click on the link, they will join the workbook.
​

Students will receive an email with the invitation code and can go to Write & Improve and enter it to start working.
​
You can also add students to your workbooks without having to use their email addresses. To find out how, click here.
