Topic Hubs
Every block in a Topic Hub
A Topic Hub is a revision page for one topic, pinned to the top of a class space. Build it from these blocks, by hand or with an AI draft, and pupils come back to it on their own.

Write it, or let AI draft it
Start from a blank page, or let AI write a full draft from a topic, your notes, the curriculum or lessons you have taught. You read and edit it before anything reaches a class.
Pin it to a class
Choose Pin to classes and the hub sits at the top of each class space until you unpin it. Put several hubs in a collection to pin a whole unit as one card.
