Section 1 Create a Session
Step 1Open the Create Session page
- After logging in, click Teaching Session in the left menu (marker 1). Your sessions are listed.
- Click Create Session at the top right (marker 2).

Step 2Enter a title
- Type the session name in Title (marker 1), for example "3A Writing Practice". Students see this name in their session list.
- Click Select next to Activity (marker 2) to choose the activity for the lesson.

Step 3Choose an activity
- The Select Activity window has three tabs: Your Activities, Shared Activities and Collections. Activities shared by your school are under Shared Activities (marker 1). You can type in the box at the top to filter by title.
- Click View (marker 2) to look at the activity first.
- Click Select (marker 3) to use the activity. To use an earlier edition, click View Old Edition.

Tip To build your own activity or upload learning materials, see Setup Learning Activities (Upload Learning Materials).
Step 4Add tags and set up the session
- Tags (marker 1) are shown to students. We suggest adding the class name, for example "3A". Type a tag, then click Add tag or press Enter. Click Import Activity Tags to add the tags of the selected activity.
- Exam Session? (marker 2): choose Yes and, while the exam is running, students can only open the exam session in progress.
- Show Score, Comment and Answers? (marker 3): choose Yes and students can see their scores and comments once the AI has finished marking. You can also change this at any time during the lesson (see Step 8).
- Enable Self-Learning Exercise? (marker 4): choose Yes and students can generate personalised practice from their marking results. Maximum self-learning generation requests per student sets how many times each student can generate. See Personalized Self-Learning Exercises for details.

Step 5Add students
- Under Students, choose From Group Template (marker 1). To add students from a user list, choose From User List instead.
- Choose a template under Grouping Template (marker 2), for example "UnaGPT Trial".
- A preview of the groups and students appears below (marker 3).

Tip If you do not have a grouping template or user list yet, see Setup Grouping Templates and Setup User Accounts and User Lists.
Step 6Share access and create
- By default, only the creator can manage the session. To manage it together with other teachers, type a teacher's username or display name in the search box under Access Sharing (marker 1), click Search (marker 2), then add the teacher.
- Check the details and click Create (marker 3).

Step 7Go to the session
- After the session is created, you are asked whether to go to it now. Start session immediately (skip assembling) (marker 1) is ticked by default: the session starts straight away and students can answer at once. To assemble students before starting (see Section 2), untick it.
- Click Yes (marker 2) to go to the session.
- Click No (marker 3) to go back to the session list and start later.

Section 2 Run the Lesson
Step 8Get to know the session screen
- Tabs (marker 1): Overview, Quotas, Submissions, Self-Learning Exercise and Login. The Login tab creates one-time login passwords for students; see Generate One-Time Login Passwords for Students.
- Overview lists the students by group (marker 2). The dot on the right shows whether a student is online.
- Show Score, Comment and Answers (marker 3): turn students' access to scores, comments and answers on or off at any time.
- Class Progress (marker 4) lists the tasks of the activity.
- Click Assemble (marker 5) to invite students into the session.

Step 9Assemble students
- After you click Assemble and confirm, the status next to the title changes to Assembling (marker 1). Students who are logged in receive an invitation to join the session.
- When everyone has joined, click Start (marker 2) and confirm. Students can now start answering.
- To cancel assembling, click Cancel (marker 3).

Step 10Control the lesson
- The status changes to In Progress (marker 1). Students can answer and submit.
- New Lock-step (marker 2) adds a lock-step to Class Progress. After finishing the tasks before the lock-step, students wait for your instruction before moving on.
- Click Pause (marker 3) to stop students answering for a while. You can assemble or start again later.
- Click Complete (marker 4) to end the session.

Note Once a session is complete, it can no longer be changed or restarted.
Section 3 Check Submissions and Review AI Marking
Step 11Check submissions
- Click the Submissions tab (marker 1).
- Task Submission shows each student's score for each task. Question Response shows each student's answer to each question (marker 2).
- Export Score Data exports the scores to an Excel file. Browse Submission Reports opens the students' submission reports (marker 3).
- Generate in the Indiv. Report column (marker 4) creates a personal learning report for a student. Each student's report can be generated once.
- Click a score in a student's task cell (marker 5) to open the review page for that submission.

Tip To create a learning report for the whole class, see Generate Class Report.
Step 12Read the student's answer
- The top of the page shows the session, task and student (marker 1).
- Student Answer (marker 2) shows what the student submitted. If the student submitted more than once, choose another submission in View Past Submissions. If the task has a sample answer, it appears on the left for reference.

Step 13Adjust scores and comments
- Score Details (marker 1) lists the AI's marking.
- Total Score (marker 2) is worked out from the score items.
- Under Score Items (marker 3), edit an item's name, score or justification directly, or click the bin icon to delete it.
- Click Add item (marker 4) to add a score item. Use Penalty Items to add deductions.

Step 14Edit the feedback and submit
- Scroll down. The content of Language Analysis, Paragraph Analysis and Overall Feedback can also be edited directly (marker 1).
- Click Add suggestion (marker 2) to add your own suggestions.
- When you are done, click Submit at the bottom right (marker 3). The student is notified and can see the reviewed results.

Note Each submission can be reviewed once; after you click Submit, the review cannot be changed. If the student submits again later, the new submission is marked separately.
Step 15Handle appeals
If a student disagrees with the AI marking, they can click File an Appeal. On the review page, an appealed submission shows Appealing and the student's Appeal Reason. Enter your reason in Reason, choose Allow Appeal or Dismiss Appeal, then click Submit.
