Channels

Channels are group discussion spaces created by your teacher or administrator. They’re used for class announcements, Q&A, topic discussions, and collaborative conversations.

Accessing Channels

1. Click Inbox in the top navigation.
2. Select the Discussions tab.
3. You’ll see a list of all channels you’ve been added to.

Browsing Channels

Each channel is listed with its name and a preview of the latest message. Click on any channel to open the full conversation.

• Use the search bar to find a specific channel by name.
• Channels with unread messages are highlighted so you don’t miss anything.

Reading a Channel

Inside a channel you’ll see all posts in chronological order — oldest at the top, newest at the bottom. Each post shows:

• The author’s name and avatar
• When it was posted
• The message content (text, images, or attachments)
• Any replies and reactions on that post

Posting in a Channel

1. Open the channel you want to post in.
2. Click the message input at the bottom.
3. Type your message.
4. Press Enter or click Send to post.

Tip

Keep posts relevant to the channel topic. Your teacher can see everything posted in a channel.

Replying to a Post

1. Find the post you want to reply to.
2. Click Reply below the post.
3. Type your reply and send it.

Replies are nested under the original post, keeping conversations organized and easy to follow.

Reacting to a Post

Click the reaction icon on any post to add an emoji reaction. Reactions are a quick way to acknowledge a post without needing to write a reply.
