Auto-Scheduled Classes

Overview

Auto-Scheduled Classes let KyberClassroom automatically start and end class sessions based on your school's bell schedule and SIS roster. Instead of manually starting a class every period, KyberClassroom detects when a period begins, loads the right students, and activates your classroom tools.

Classes sync from Google Classroom, Clever, or ClassLink.

Prerequisites

• Teacher account in KyberClassroom
• At least one class roster synced from Google Classroom, Clever, or ClassLink
• Bell schedule configured by your IT administrator
• Auto-scheduling enabled (on by default for synced classes)

Steps

Step 1: Verify Your Class Roster

Log in to teachers.kybergate.com → My Classes → Verify each class shows the correct students. Synced classes show a Google/Clever/ClassLink icon.

Step 2: Map Classes to Periods

Go to My Classes → Schedule → For each class, select the corresponding bell schedule period → Save Schedule. (Auto-mapped for Google Classroom imports with period info.)

Step 3: Set Default Preferences

Go to Settings → Class Defaults to configure:

• Auto-enable screen monitoring?
• Default view (thumbnails, list, tabs)
• Auto-activate a Focus/Restrict preset?
• Welcome message to broadcast on start?

Step 4: Experience Auto-Start

When a period begins:

1. KyberClassroom switches to the associated class
2. Student devices are associated with the session
3. Monitoring activates (if enabled)
4. Welcome message sends (if configured)
5. Default Focus/Restrict preset activates (if set)

Step 5: Experience Auto-End

When the period ends:

1. The class session closes
2. Focus/Restrict Mode, Overrides, and locks expire
3. Chat history archives
4. KyberClassroom switches to the next class

Step 6: Manual Override

You can always: start a class early, extend 15 minutes, switch classes, or end early.

Tips

• Keep SIS rosters up to date for best results
• Use the "Welcome message" to set expectations without repeating yourself
• Auto-start happens within 30 seconds of the period beginning
• Disable auto-scheduling per class under class → Settings → toggle off Auto-Schedule

FAQ

Q: What if my class isn't synced? A: Manually created classes must be started manually. Contact IT to set up SIS sync.

Q: What happens during substitute days? A: Auto-scheduling is tied to the class, not the teacher. Substitutes with KyberClassroom accounts see the same schedule.

Q: Can I have different defaults per class? A: Yes. Override global defaults under each class's settings.

Q: What if the bell schedule changes mid-day? A: Auto-scheduling immediately follows the new schedule.
