How Do I Connect Course Materials to a Specific Class or Cohort?
You connect course materials to a specific class by attaching documents directly to that class's record, instead of storing everything in one undifferentiated shared folder. On Jestor, this runs through Docs connected to a class table.
Course materials stored in one shared folder, without a clear connection to a specific class or cohort, make it easy to hand out the wrong version or an outdated file.
What undifferentiated course material storage costs
- Risk of handing out the wrong version or an outdated file to a class
- Time spent searching a shared folder for the materials relevant to one class
- Difficulty confirming materials are complete for a specific upcoming session
- Confusion between cohorts using similar but slightly different materials
How connecting materials to a specific class works
- Materials attach directly to the class or cohort they're relevant to
- Opening a class's record shows exactly its connected materials
- No searching through a shared folder is needed to find the right version
- Confirming completeness for a session becomes direct, not a search
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Direct attachment removes the risk of using the wrong version by mistake
- Materials are found instantly, connected to the exact class they belong to
- Confirming completeness for a session becomes immediate
- This scales from a single course to a school running many cohorts simultaneously
