Setting up your first class
From a class code to a graded submission, the path through Dwixel as a coordinator.
This is the practical route through Dwixel for an instructor: create a class, get students in, form groups, and run the project through to a defensible mark. It takes a few minutes to set up.
1. Create the class and share the code
Create a class and share its join code with your students. They enter the code to enrol, which puts everyone in one place without you managing a roster by hand.
2. Set the deliverable and deadline
Tell Dwixel what the assignment expects, a document, a presentation, or both, and set the deadline. The deliverable type guides what students hand in, and the deadline drives reminders and the overdue flag.
3. Form groups
Form groups from the enrolled students. Each new group gets a leader automatically, so a single hold-out can never freeze the group at submission, and you can reassign the leader at any time.
4. Watch group health while it matters
As groups work, the oversight cockpit shows each member’s contribution share, how evenly the work is split, and flags for inactivity or a one-person group, so you can step in early rather than at the post-mortem.
5. Submission, sign-off, and grading
When a group is finished, members sign off and hand in their chosen work, which is frozen into a locked record. You can close the project, reopen it if a group needs a change, and grade against the frozen contribution totals, with the submitted artifacts and the contribution picture on hand if a mark is ever questioned.
