Inputting class context

Add class-level context—like subject, grade, and key learning objectives—to your Flint classes to customize activity prompts and responses.

Written by Lulu Gao

The Class Context feature helps educators provide context for their class, allowing Flint to better understand and meet student needs. Once set, this information automatically applies to all activities within the class, ensuring consistency across your content.

In summary, this setting:

  • Provides context for how Flint should respond to and prompt students within activity sessions in the class

  • Can have an input up to 1,000 characters

  • Should include information like:

    • Grade level

    • Subject

    • Key learning objectives

    • Class demographics or special considerations (e.g., learning accommodations)

  • Is only available for class owners to set and change

  • Example: “This is a 10th grade U.S. History class with 25 students. There’s a wide variety of learning capabilities, with five students reading below level and requiring extra support.”

Duplicate this activity to help with writing your class context!

Note: This activity is meant to help you brainstorm, we highly suggest reading it over and adding/removing whatever you want from the final product. Once it's completed, simply copy and paste it over to your class context!

Adding class context to an existing class

On the class page, click on “curriculum” on the left side navigation.

The “Class Context” field will be available in the class settings panel. Make sure to click “Update” once you’ve added your context!
