2. Log in using your name and “x” as password

3. At this screen click on Compass button and then click run.

4. From this Compass Learning management screen choose File

then “new”.

5. Choose “class” then click OK.

6. Type each student’s name: first name, space, last

name then hit ENTER. (repeat until all students’ names
are entered. Kelly Parsons always added a few non- students by typing your name
with a “z” in front of it. i.e. Karen Zdailey then Karen ZZdailey, etc. so they’d be at
bottom of your list and you could go in and change the name easily when new
students came in)

7. After all the students’ names have been entered go to File then Save.
Be sure to include your name when naming the class. Click “Save” again.
