Create a Class

Creating a class unlocks the full gamification features of ClassMana. Currently free, but will require a paid subscription in the future.

What You Need

• A registered ClassMana account

What creating a class enables:

• Experience points and leveling system
• Mana and powers
• Rewards system
• Avatar customization (Stage 2)
• Health and strikes (Stage 3)
• Gold and shop (Stage 4)
• Activity tracking

Creating Your Class

Step 1: Click "Create Class"

From your dashboard, click the large "+" card or "Create Class" button.

Step 2: Enter Class Name

A dialog will appear asking for your class name.

Examples:

• "Period 3 Math"
• "5th Grade Homeroom"
• "Ms. Smith's Science"

Enter the name and click "Create Class".

Three-Step Setup Wizard

After creating your class, you'll go through a 3-step setup wizard to configure students, rewards, and powers.

Step 1: Import Students

Add your students one per line.

For security reasons, only use their first names. When there are duplicates, use first names with last initials (e.g., "John D.", "John S.").

Click "Import Students" when done (or skip to add students later).

Step 2: Configure Rewards

Select from suggested rewards or create your own custom rewards.

Each reward can give Experience - The primary currency for leveling up

Select the rewards you want to use, customize point values if needed, add your own, then click "Continue".

Step 3: Configure Powers

Select from suggested powers or create your own custom powers.

Powers are special perks students can "purchase" using their mana:

• Choose which powers to enable
• Set the mana cost for each power (1-5 mana)
• Customize power names to match your classroom

Click the powers you want to enable, then click "Finish Setup".

You're Done!

Your class dashboard will now show your students (if you added any) and you're ready to start giving rewards.
