This article explains how individual subscribers can add their students and classes to their Silver or Gold Carousel account only.
Users with Carousel Platinum without MIS integration should click here instead.
In the following video Adam Boxer (our Education Director) shows how to create a class by uploading a class list:

Creating a Class List
Before you can assign a Quiz to a class, you have to upload a class list to Carousel. To upload a class:
- Open the spreadsheet template attached to this article
- The file format must be as follows:
- A single tab
- Two columns on the worksheet with these column headings:
- First Name
- Last Name
Here's an example of a class list for a class of four students:
- Ensure that "First Name" is in A1 and "Last Name" is B1 – it won't work if the table is somewhere else on the sheet.
- You don't have to use full names, though this is acceptable. The class list can contain any unique combination of letters and numbers you may want to use to identify the students and provide them with a unique login.
- All name combinations in a class must be distinct from each other. Carousel won't allow two pupils identified as "Adam B" in the same class, so you must distinguish between them (e.g. Adam A B and Adam J B).
- The names you use will double as the students' login, but aren't case sensitive. Student access to Carousel works via a link supplied by the teacher which prompts students to enter their name (no registration or password is required on their part). Their login name needs to match exactly the name on the class list, but it is not case sensitive so it doesn't matter whether they use capital letters or not.
- The class list must be downloaded in Excel XLSX or XLS file format.
-
To create the file in Google Sheets, set up your sheet as described above, and then select file >> download >> Microsoft Excel (.xlsx). This will save an Excel file to your computer which you can upload into Carousel:

Once you have created your class list Excel file:
- Select "CREATE NEW" in the "My Classes" section of the Dashboard.
- Follow the instructions to upload the file.
