ONE STEP AT A TIME

Follow the pictures

Keep SYNKii open in another tab. Follow the steps for your task; optional actions are labelled so you know what can wait.

Follow the numbered steps and highlighted controls. Screenshots show the actual SYNKii interface; example dates and settings may differ from yours.

  1. Find Library in the menu

    Start on your teacher dashboard. Look down the navigation menu for the Teaching heading, then click Library. If the menu is folded away, open it first to see the names.

    Check: The Library page opens.

  2. Add a file

    *Optional — Only for a new file

    If the file is already in your Library, skip to the next step. Otherwise, choose Add material, select a file you may share, give it a clear title and wait for the upload to finish.

    Check: You can open the file you intend to use.

  4. Give the learner access

    *Optional — When students need access

    Open Manage sharing for the material. Search for the intended learner and choose Share beside their name. Check their access state after sharing. Uploading alone does not share a file.

    Check: The sharing information includes the intended learner.

Can’t find the same screen? Check that you are in the right account and have selected the right learner or lesson. On a small screen, open the navigation menu to see the page names. Read any access or availability message before continuing.

If a student cannot open a file

Check the recipient in Manage sharing and the account the student is using before uploading another copy.

Use the material in a lesson

Open Library inside the scheduled classroom. To give home practice, attach the material to an assignment and name the page or bars to work on.

Use files you have permission to share. When replacing a resource, check which version the learner can access; avoid sharing another student’s private annotations.
