GitHub Classroom automates repository creation and access control, making it easy for teachers to distribute starter code and collect assignments on GitHub.
Problem
The language on the classroom invitation page is confusing. The primary action seems to encourage students to skip the step. [See notes from teacher feedback]
Overall, the language and presentation of the invitation flow seemed to borrow heavily from GitHub Classroom which is designed for the teacher, not the student.
Proposed updates include:
Clarified language for the roster so students skip the step only if they don't find their name/identifier
Removed the header for the classroom since it doesn't have any utility for students (students shouldn't have access to the teacher's classroom itself) and it takes up so much real estate
Other smaller copy edits and stylistic updates to make the content readable and easier to understand.
