Creating Classrooms with a Directory

This article explains how to set up Classwize classes using a directory (Google, LDAP or Entra ID).

Classwize can be configured using Google, LDAP, or Entra ID groups as classes. This allows your school to use Classwize if it does not have a SIS.

These groups appear as class tiles for teachers. If the teacher is configured in Classwize and belongs to that group, the teacher will see that group as a class they can use in Classwize.

From a teacher's view, anything displayed in Classwize is considered a class. However, it can be either a group or a class behind the scenes. Classwize shows these differences by indicating the source type, such as Google Group, Google Classroom, and LDAP.
