Class List pane
The Class List pane is a directory of all classes that you're associated with.
NOTE: The Demonstration Class is a showcase of the capabilities of Möbius content and might not be visible to you (depending on the arrangement of administrators within your organization).
NOTE: Administrators are automatically enrolled in the Master Class which functions as a parent class to every class within your organization. You can also enroll instructors into this class to help mange the content that it contains. Any content in the Master Class's Content Repository is automatically inherited by all other classes within your organization. This also means that any changes to the Master Class's content automatically propagate to all other classes. Example — You could create a theme in the Master Class's Content Repository. This theme is then available to all classes within your organization so that all classes have the potential to have the same CSS styling for their content.
NOTE: You may have class roles in specific classes that are different from your system role. This means that certain classes will display under different headings in the Class List pane (Example — if you have a system role of administrator but have also enrolled as a student in a specific class within your organization, the class that you're enrolled in as a student is listed under the heading Classes I Am Taking). Check out View my classes to learn how classes that you're enrolled in are organized in this pane.
Clicking on a class name takes you to the Class Homepage for that specific class.
TIP: Check out Navigate the instructor Class Homepage to learn what you can do from the Class Homepage.
NOTE: If you create a class, you'll automatically be assigned as the instructor and the class will appear listed under the Classes Where My Role Is Instructor heading on your System Homepage. You can reassign the primary instructor at anytime. Check out Change the primary instructor.
