Students decide where they want to share their work and reflections. Students can make posts public, private, or shared with limited viewers - like a professor or a study group. With a campus plan, users can even share content to your LMS.

Sharing through Known

Now it’s easier than ever to share and collaborate with classmates and instructors in a coursespace online. A class site allows students to share files, photos, and research.

How Known gets used at school

student

Anna, college junior

I use Known to showcase course projects on my personal site.

In my media design and public communications course, we regularly create projects in InDesign, take photos for assignments, and collect notes on ad copy. All of my projects and notes lives on my website. When I applied for an internship last year, my coursework was all in one place, along side my portfolio and resume.

Dylan, creative writing professor

Our most thoughtful discussions happen in a digital space.

My goal is to help students become fluent writers and critical thinkers. When I'm teaching a course about creative writing, I want students to write. We set up Known as a classroom space and everyone posts portions of their work for feedback each week. We have found that this really encourages more thoughtful and reflective conversations within the class. It's so easy for students to post work and discuss it with peers, and I like that they get in the habit of blogging regularly.

Mikaila, graduate student

I use Known to share learning resources with peers and professors.

I’m finishing up a graduate degree in education, and I’ve spent the past few years with the same small cohort of grad students. We set up a multi-author Known site where we can each blog, share links to research, and post notes on our thesis projects. It’s a great way to stay connected with my peers and their work, even when we don’t spend much time together in the classroom. It’s become a valuable knowledge bank for me over the last year.
