If LanSchool is going to be used in a 1:1 environment, where every student has their own device and is moving from class to class, it is recommended to use LanSchool Classic's Class List feature. The feature allows teachers to quickly load students into their class for that class period. It also prevents teachers from seeing student devices that are not in their class. See Planning Your Implementation for more details.

Before beginning to create class lists, the channel assignment must be determined first. 

1. Set up all student computers with a default “home” channel that is not used by any teachers. For instance, in a middle school you could assign the 7th graders to channel 7, 8th graders to channel 8, and 9th graders to channel 9. Alternately, you could assign a single channel to the entire student body.
   
   
2. Set up each teacher on their own unique channel. Using the teacher’s classroom number works well for many schools. If you are using an LCS, consider using the auto-assignment feature.
   
   
3.   Install the student computers with the default option not to change channels.
   

Before browsing for the students, every student required for the class must be logged into their device.

1.  On the Teacher Console, from the Class List menu or toolbar menu, select Manual Class Lists...
   
   
   
   
2. The Manage Manual Class Lists window and Load Manual Class List window display. Determine which method below to use to select students, and then select the appropriate radio button:

5. Select Save As, enter a name for your class, and then select Save. Class Lists are saved with an .lsc extension.
   
   
   
   
6. Close the Manage Manual Class Lists window. The Load Manual Class List window displays the newly created class list.
   
   
7. Select the appropriate class list. You can choose to have the class automatically dismiss by selecting Automatically dismiss class.
   
1. Select Dismiss at default end time: to end your class at a specific time. This will become the normal end time every time the class is loaded.
   
2. Select Dismiss __ minutes from now to specify a certain number of minutes from start time to dismissal time. 
   
   
   
   
8. Select Start Class.   The class is now loaded, and a list of students who are are logged into their devices displays. Any student who is not logged in will appear as a "Missing Student."
   
   
9. To manually dismiss the class, select Dismiss Current Class from the Class List menu or toolbar menu.
   
   
   
   
10. If auto dismissal was chosen, a countdown displays at the bottom of the Teacher Console. When the countdown reaches one minute, it starts to flash at the bottom of the Teacher Console. A dismissal warning dialog displays, showing that the class will be dismissed.

Deleting Class Lists Created by Searching on the Network

The school's IT support should complete this option. This is recommended for large school districts where browsing for students can cause issues due to the large amount of students appearing in the Teacher Console.

To prepare for implementing dynamic class lists, create two files by exporting the required data from your SIS software. Your SIS should have an export option to save as CSV, but if not, a plain text file is also acceptable.

1. When you have exported this data to the files and named them appropriately, copy them to any network location that your teacher machines can access. Most SIS tools allow you to schedule this type of data export and automatically copy it to the correct network file share.
   

Loading Dynamic Class Lists

Whenever the centrally located CSV files are updated, the teacher will automatically see those updates when loading a new dynamic class list.
