Creating a Course

What a Course Represents

A course in Quizzibility is the top-level container for everything related to a single class you teach: slide decks, assignments, live sessions, grades, and enrolled students. If you teach multiple courses in a semester (say, Intro to CS and Data Structures), create one Quizzibility course for each.

Courses and Sections

Most instructors teach multiple sections of the same course — same material, different meeting times. Quizzibility handles this with sections inside a single course. You build your decks and assignments once at the course level, then scope enrollment and scheduling to individual sections. This means you do not have to duplicate content when you teach the same course three times a week to different groups.

Enrollment Options

There are two ways to get students into your course:

Enrollment Links — Generate a shareable link (or QR code) for each section. Students click the link, sign in, and they are enrolled. This is the fastest approach for the first day of class — project the QR code and students scan it on their phones.

Allowlists — Upload a list of student email addresses (or paste them in). Only students whose email matches the list can enroll. This is useful when you want to restrict access to officially registered students and prevent random sign-ups.

You can combine both approaches: generate an enrollment link but also enable the allowlist so that only pre-approved emails can use the link.

After Creating a Course

Once your course exists you can start adding content immediately. Build a slide deck, create an assignment, or configure grading settings. The course settings page lets you adjust the course name, description, enrollment rules, and grading scheme at any time.

If you use mastery-based grading, the course is also where you define your specifications and grade bundles — see the Mastery Grading guide for details.

Practical Tips

Name your course something students will recognize — include the course number and semester (e.g., "CS 101 — Spring 2026"). Keep one course per actual class; do not try to merge unrelated classes into a single Quizzibility course, as gradebooks and enrollment are course-scoped.
