Documentation

1. Getting Started

Ladwick is set up by your program administrator. Once your organization is on the platform, you'll receive an email invitation with a link to set up your instructor account. Click the link, choose a password, and you'll land on your instructor dashboard.

Your program has its own subdomain — for example, yourprogram.ladwick.com. All instructors and students in your organization access Ladwick through that URL.

2. Classes

Creating a class

From your dashboard, click New Class. Give the class a name, pick a color, set the start and end dates, and choose the recurring days and time. You can optionally attach a curriculum (see Section 4) and set a difficulty level.

Sessions

Ladwick automatically generates sessions for your class based on the recurring schedule you set. Sessions appear in the class calendar. You can open any session to mark attendance, upload session-specific files, and add notes.

Enrolling students

Open a class and go to the Students tab. Search for students in your organization and enroll them. Students must already have an account — see Section 5 for how to create student accounts.

Quick links

Each class has a Quick Links section where you can pin external resources — Google Docs, YouTube videos, reference sheets — that students can access from their class view.

3. Students

Creating student accounts

Go to the Students section in the sidebar. Click Add Student, enter their name and a username. Students log in with their username and a password you set for them — they do not use email to sign in.

Optionally, you can add a parent or guardian email address. This is used only to send absence notifications when a student is marked absent.

Student experience

Students log in at your program's subdomain. From their dashboard they can see their enrolled classes, view upcoming sessions, access lesson materials uploaded by their instructor, and complete assignments.

4. Curriculum Builder

Creating a curriculum

Curricula are reusable lesson plans that can be attached to any class. Go to Curriculum in the sidebar and click New Curriculum. Give it a name and description.

Weeks and files

Inside a curriculum, add weeks. Each week represents one lesson or unit. Within each week, upload the materials students will use — PowerPoint slides, PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, or images (up to 50 MB per file). These files are available to students in their class lessons view.

Attaching to a class

When creating or editing a class, select a curriculum from the dropdown. The curriculum's weeks map to the class sessions so students always have the right material for each lesson.

5. Assignments

Creating assignments manually

Open a class and go to the Assignments tab. Click New Assignment, set a title, due date, and total points, then add questions manually. Questions can be multiple choice, short answer, or long form.

AI-generated assignments

If AI assignments are enabled for your class, you can generate an assignment from your uploaded lesson materials. Ladwick sends your curriculum content to our AI and returns a ready-to-use assignment based on that lesson. You can review and edit the questions before publishing.

AI assignment generation works best when your uploaded materials are detailed and clearly written. See the Educator Guides for tips on getting the most out of this feature.

6. Attendance

Open any session from the class calendar and go to the Attendance tab. You'll see all enrolled students. Mark each student as present, absent, or late. If a student is marked absent and has a parent email on file, a notification is sent automatically.

7. Analytics

The Analytics tab in each class gives you an AI-generated summary of student performance, including assignment scores, submission rates, attendance trends, and individual student insights. This is generated from your class data and updated each time you open the tab.

8. File Downloads

As a class admin, you can control whether students are allowed to download lesson files or only view them in the browser. This setting is found in the class settings under Student Access. Changes take effect immediately.
