Inviting your students

You will first have to provide your students with a log in to Gipper. Depending on the structure of your class, you can do this in two ways:

1. 1. Providing each student with their own login
   2. Creating a set of generic logins for students to use, which allows for easy transfer of the account to another student at the end of the class or upon graduation.

To invite your students to your Workspace:

• See details on inviting new users here

Creating groups

In order for one student/user to share media or saved designs with another within the workspace, both users must belong to the same group. Users can create groups on the workspace settings.

To create a group:

1. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner
2. Select "Groups"
3. Click on the green "Create Group" button
4. Give the group a name (ex: Interns, Marketing 101, Sports Marketing Class A, etc.)
5. Input the email address of the member you would like to add to the group
6. Click "Create"

Folder setup and sharing media

Many schools find success with Gipper in the Classroom by setting up folders in the “Saved Designs” section of their student’s accounts, then sharing those folders with the admin.

Gipper folders support one-way sharing. This means that the original creator of the folder is the only one who can add or remove designs within that folder. Because of this, we recommend having each student set up a folder within the “Saved Designs” section of their account to share with their teacher or admin.

To create and share folders:

• See here for how to create and organize folders and here for details on sharing them

Social Media and publishing

There are two ways to connect your Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter/X accounts to Gipper: through your Personal Social Media Accounts or through your Workspace Social Media Accounts. Both can be accessed by clicking on the profile icon in the top right-hand corner, and selecting "Social Media Accounts."

If you connect through your Personal Social Media Accounts, only you will be able to have access to publishing to those social media accounts. Your students will not be able to post on your behalf.

If you connect through your Workspace Social Media accounts, workspace owners or admin can connect shared social media accounts to the workspace and then give individual groups permission to publish directly to that account.

Read here for a walkthrough of connecting your social media accounts to Gipper. 

Whitelisting and firewall information

Occasionally, school networks can place restrictions on student devices. If your students are having any trouble accessing the platform, creating content, etc. please see details below on working with your IT department to get this resolved:

1. Gipper domains to whitelist
2. GoGuardian extension help
