Lesson notes are written per topic. Each topic belongs to a subject and a term, and is visible to the students in the assigned class once published.
Go to Teaching, click a subject, and open the Lessons tab.
Create a topic
Topics are grouped under First term, Second term, and Third term headers.
- Click New topic under the term you are working on.
- Type the topic title (for example, Photosynthesis) and click Create topic.
The topic editor opens.
Edit a topic
Each topic has five sections. Click a section header to expand it and start typing. Content auto-saves 1.5 seconds after you stop typing.
| Section | Default audience | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Learning objectives | Students | What students should be able to do after the lesson |
| Quick notes | Teachers only | Your own teaching angle and tips — not shown to students by default |
| Notes | Students | The main lesson content |
| Classwork | Teachers only | In-class exercises — not shown to students by default |
| Assignment | Students | Homework or take-home tasks |
To change who can see a section, use the visibility toggle next to the section header and switch between Students and Teachers only.
Draft a section with AI
Inside any section, click Draft with AI to get a starting point. Optionally type a line to steer it (or leave it blank — Schola uses the topic, subject, term and class level), then click Generate. Review the draft and click Accept & insert to drop it into the editor, or Regenerate for another pass. Nothing saves until you accept it, and it uses AI credits.
Share a topic to another class
If you teach the same subject across multiple classes, you can share a topic so students in those other classes also see it.
- Open the topic and click Classes.
- Under Share (linked), tick the classes to add and click Share with N classes. Linked classes show the same content — editing the topic updates all of them.
To remove a linked class later, open Classes again and click the × next to it (a topic must stay in at least one class). If you'd rather give another class its own independent copy that you can edit separately, use Copy (independent) instead of sharing.
Archive or delete a topic
Open the topic menu (⋯) at the top right:
- Archive — hides the topic from students but keeps it in your list. You can restore it later.
- Delete — permanently removes the topic (and its sections). This works on any topic, archived or not, and can't be undone.
