Resource Class Groups

Select District > Admin > Update Classes

District resource managers can use resource class groups to assign multiple resources to classes (not sections) at the district level. This lets each school or teacher choose the resource that best meets their needs.

For example, your district has science textbooks from three different years that you are slowly updating. Use a resource class group to let a school continue using the textbooks they have on hand. Resource class groups can contain any type of resource, and a resource can be assigned to multiple classes.

To create a Resource Class Group

  1. Log in as a district user.
  2. Select District > Admin > Update Classes > Resource Class Groups.
  3. In the field, type a unique name for the group, and then click Add Group.
  4. Use the Find drop-down to select the resource type.
  5. In the field, type the search criterion, select the field for that criterion, and then click Go.
  6. Find the resource you want, and then click Assign to Group. The resources move to the Currently Assigned Resources section.

    Note:The search results do not include any resource that is already in the group, in another group assigned to a class that is using this group, or assigned to a class as an individual resource.
