Ekadence Create Class: How to Create a Class and Add Modules

Want to Ekadence create class setups for a new term without rebuilding everything? This guide shows you how to create a class in Ekadence, name it, save it and add your first modules, with a screenshot for each step.

Ekadence is the learning platform used by Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) teachers. Creating a practice or “Sandbox” class first is a safe way to build units before students ever see them, and it takes only a few minutes.

What You Need Before You Start

• An Ekadence faculty login with a school Google account.
• Your class details: the school, the period and a class name.
• A plan for your modules, such as weekly units or topics.

Tips After You Create a Class in Ekadence

• Create a Sandbox class first, so you can test settings without affecting real students.
• Use clear module names such as Week 1 or Unit 2 so students find material quickly.
• Once the class works, learn to copy modules from a previous class instead of rebuilding.
• Set up linked sections if you teach the same course in several periods.

Ekadence Create Class Not Working?

• You do not see the plus sign: make sure you are signed in with faculty access.
• The school is missing: ask your site technology contact to add you to the school.
• The class does not appear: refresh the page and open Select Course again.
• Still stuck: contact your school’s technology support or the AUHSD help desk.

Ekadence Create Class FAQ

Can I delete a practice class later? Yes, but check with your site administrator first, because class removal can depend on your permissions.

Do I have to add a description? No. The description is optional, so you can skip it.

Does the screen look different now? The tutorial screens come from an older version of Ekadence, so some buttons may be placed slightly differently.
