Resources and materials

For coaches · 3 min read

Your library is global and reusable — nothing reaches a student until you explicitly share or attach it.

Build your library

1
Open Resources and click Add resource open →

Your library lives here — reusable across every student until you decide to share something.

2
Upload a file or paste a link

Give it a title, subject, and kind (Worksheet, Link, Vocab deck, Slides) — a link makes the card open the material for you and your students.

3
Keep it organized with tags and collections

Add comma-separated tags and an optional folder-style collection path, then search, sort, or group your library by either.

4
Chess coaches can import a PGN instead

Pick Chess (PGN) as the kind and paste in a game from lichess, chess.com, or anywhere else.

Drills and boards built this way live on the student's shelf and the lesson screen, never as raw move-text.

5
Check the ready-made library for units you can import open →

When ready-made units exist for a craft you teach, a card for them sits at the top of Resources — importing a unit copies it into your library as your own editable materials.

6
Preview a unit before you import it

Preview the unit shows you the whole thing — the coach explainer, every drill and its solution, and each position on a real board — without adding anything to your library.

Import when you've decided. A unit lands as its own collection (a drills file and an explainer), and a second import of the same unit is labelled (copy 2) so you can always tell your copies apart.

Share with a student generally

7
Open a student's hub and go to their Resources tab open →

Lists your whole library with a Share control for this student.

8
Click Share

Makes the resource generally available in their portal — not tied to any one lesson, good for evergreen materials.

9
Share a whole unit at once

Resources that sit in a collection are grouped there, with a Share all control at the group heading — so an imported unit goes across as the unit, not as two loose files.

10
Remove it when it's no longer relevant

Removes every share of that resource for this student, both general and lesson-attached.

Attach to a specific lesson

11
Open the lesson and click + Attach materials

Right on the lesson screen — no detour to the student's hub needed.

12
Pick from your library

Attached items carry a quiet this lesson label so you can tell them apart from general shares.

13
Know what your student sees

Anything attached to this lesson shows on that lesson's page and in their materials shelf, labeled with the date.

Student work coming back to you

14
Check the lesson screen for anything sent in

Homework, essays, or recordings your student uploads from their portal show up under From [student] on the lesson screen, read-only.

15
Or check the student's hub Resources tab

The same submissions collect there too, each linking back to Open lesson for the lesson it was sent for.

16
Expect a heads-up if they haven't joined yet

Sharing or attaching materials for a student who hasn't accepted their portal invite sits waiting — a banner says so right where you're working.

Only appears before a student has joined their portal.
