These five short videos will take you from first login to confidently using the platform. Watch them in order for the quickest route to getting started with your classes.
1. Welcome and platform overview
Jamie Frost walks you through the key areas of the platform: your dashboard, classes, courses, tasks, and progress data. Good context for everything that follows.
2. Setting up classes
How to get your classes and students set up using MIS sync, spreadsheet upload, or manual entry. Once your classes are in place, tasks, homework, and progress tracking all fall into place around them.

3. Using courses
How courses organise your teaching content: from using ready-made schemes of work like White Rose or AQA, to adapting them or building your own to match how your department teaches.

4. Setting tasks
Tasks are at the heart of how most teachers use Dr Frost. This video covers the full workflow: browsing skills from your course to build a task, choosing between flexible and fixed question formats, adding real exam questions, and setting work as a homework or a formal assessment.
It also covers past papers, shadow papers (regenerated versions of existing papers, useful for resits or extra practice), and how to save and reuse worksheets across classes and year groups.

5. Progress data and analytics
How to use Dr Frost's progress data tools to understand how your students are performing. The video covers task-level breakdowns, individual student responses, and the by-topic and by-question views for identifying patterns and planning targeted intervention.
It also covers leaving feedback on student work, exporting data to Excel, and the mark sheet view for an at-a-glance overview of a class across all tasks.
That's everything you need to get going. If you get stuck at any point, browse the help centre or get in touch at support@drfrost.org and we'll help you out.
