Use your facilitator code, or the owner passcode.
No sessions yet. Create one above.
Each session has its own join code, people, board, chat and reveal settings. Learners join with the code; nothing is shared between sessions except Shodan’s saved results.
A template remembers a session’s tools, length and course. Share one to let other facilitators use it.
Make this your own: name, logo, colours and the welcome learners see when they join. Changes show here as you make them and go live for everyone when you press Save. Colours are adjusted automatically where needed so text always stays easy to read.
PNG, JPG or WebP. It is shrunk for you.
A wide picture works best.
Abuse reports from the public report form (CourseDeck staff only). If the place named is a session code, the account behind it is shown, and you can suspend it: its owner cannot sign in, nobody can join its sessions, and learners already in them lose access within 30 seconds. Restoring undoes it. Nothing is deleted.
No reports.
Payments are taken by Stripe on their own secure page; we never see your card details. Change plan, update your card, see invoices or cancel on the same page (“Manage billing”). If you stop paying, nothing is deleted: you can still sign in, look at everything and download your data.
Your quizzes, activities, pictures, files and sessions belong to you. You can take a copy of all of it, or delete your account.
The download is one or more zip files: your records (content.json) and every picture, PDF, slide deck and file. The links stay available for two days.
This permanently removes your account, your library (quizzes, activities, pictures, slides, files), your sessions and what learners saved in them, and your sign-in. You are signed out straight away and it cannot be undone. Prepare a download first if you want a copy. Our backups keep deleted data for up to 35 more days, and then it is gone for good.
People who can sign in to run sessions. An owner can invite and remove people and sees every session; a facilitator sees only their own. Each person gets an email invitation, sets their own password and sets up an authenticator app.
Each facilitator signs in here with their own code and sees only their own sessions. You (owner) can see and end any session.
Copy this code now and send it to them privately – it can’t be shown again (you can issue a new one any time).
Virtual delivery: everyone in the session, with who has finished the task and who is asking for help (waiting longest first). Learners write a short About me from their home page.
Nobody has been admitted yet.
First saves this session’s class chat transcript to the log bucket (if it can’t, nothing is wiped). Then logs every participant out, clears the boards and chat, and retires the join code. Other sessions are not affected. Sessions also end on their own when their set length runs out.
Pick the course for this session and the lists of quizzes, document copies and activities show that course first (plus anything not tied to a course). You can always switch a list to “All courses” to use something from elsewhere.
These people are already in the session but their browser forgot them. Approve only someone you can see in the room: they take over that person’s place, and the old login stops working.
Nobody is waiting.
Nobody has been admitted yet.
The names people were officially registered with, and who each one chose to be known as. Learners on the register are let in automatically. Anyone not on the list waits in “Waiting to be admitted” with a note: check them in person before you admit them. If someone picked the wrong name, release it or link the right learner to it.
Learners are ticked when they log in, but someone could log in from elsewhere, and someone in the room may not have logged in. Check the room, tick or untick, then press Submit register. If someone arrives later, tick them and press Update register.
Slides and guides for facilitators only – learners never see these.
Pick how long, round to the nearest 5 minutes, and learners see a full-screen clock (“Break until 10:45”). You get a presenter view for the projector.
Start a task with a title and instructions (for example a practical lab outside this app). Learners see it in a small “Task” note on whatever page they are on, with an “I’ve finished” button; open the presenter view to show it on the projector. See who has finished, then clear the ticks for the next task. The plan shows a green ✓ on each finished learner’s desk (for labs too: the lab you showed most recently). For longer, reusable activities build a lab in the Lab library. Learners need the Classroom plan switched on.
