School Channels (Staff Communication)

Create dedicated communication channels for departments, grade levels, or teams.

Channels provide a structured way for school staff to communicate within Wittigo. Instead of mixing everything into one chat, you can create channels for specific departments, grade levels, or projects. Each channel is a focused conversation space that keeps relevant discussions organized and easy to find.

Creating a Channel

1. Open the Admin Console and navigate to Channels.
2. Click "Create Channel" and give it a name (e.g., "Science Department", "Year 9 Team").
3. Add a description so staff know what the channel is for.
4. Invite specific teachers or allow all staff to join.
5. Channel members can post messages, share links, and discuss topics within the channel.

Channel Best Practices

Create channels for recurring needs: one per department, one for whole-school announcements, and one for new teachers. Avoid creating too many channels — if a channel has fewer than 3 active members, it is probably better merged with another. Archive inactive channels to keep the list clean.
