Think of Stile like a textbook that comes to life with videos, simulations and interactive questions to help you master concepts and ace your next assessment.
Your teacher will help guide you through each activity, lead class discussions and provide opportunities for you to work together with your classmates.
Here's how to get started:
- Set up your Stile account;
- Choose your profile picture;
- Find your way around Stile;
- Complete a Lesson and save your work;
- Review your marks and feedback;
- Revise with the Stile X app and workbook pages;
- Log out if you are using a shared device.
1. Set up your Stile account
If you have never used Stile before, then you will need to create your account. This can be done when your teacher asks you to join their class using a 6-digit Class code.
In a new browser tab, go to stileapp.com/join and enter the class code your teacher gave you.
A new text box will appear for you to enter your school email address. Be very careful when entering your email, and make sure there are no typos! This will be the email address you use to log in to Stile.
Next, more text boxes will appear. Enter your first name and last name, and choose a password.
The password must be at least 6 characters long. We recommend you use a combination of numbers, lowercase letters, and uppercase letters, and to make it memorable.
Click the Sign up! button when you're ready to go. This will take you to your new Subject.
Note: You only need to use a class code once per Subject. From now on, you can log in with your email address and password at stileapp.com.
2. Choose your profile picture
Your profile picture appears next to your name in Stile and you can change it as often as you want.
Click on your name (or "edit profile") in the top right corner of Stile to go to your Profile page. Your starter picture will already be selected. Click on any picture to view it full-sized next to your name until you find the one you want. Your selection saves automatically and you'll see your new picture appear next to your name!
Note: We like to add new profile picture options throughout the year. If you want to see more options for profile pictures, send a message to the Stile Support team and let us know what topics or scientists you're interested in!
Click the Home button in the top left corner of Stile to go back to your Home page.
3. Find your way around Stile
You might be using Stile for one Subject or for lots of different Subjects. You'll be taken straight to your new Subject when you use a class code to join, but when you log in at stileapp.com you will go to your Home page first.
Your home page includes your school name, the Subjects you are enrolled in on Stile, and a section for upcoming and past due dates.
Click on a Subject to see the Lessons your teacher has made available to you. In the example image above, Carol is enrolled in Year 7 Science - Mr McD 2024.
Your Lessons are organized into Folders. Folders have grey headers. If you see a grey header with no Lessons under it, you can click on it and the Lessons will appear. In the example image above, the Introduction to Science Folder is open, and the Breaking news Folder is closed. If Carol clicks on Breaking news, they will see the Lessons inside.
Click on a Lesson to open it.
Every Lesson includes text, pictures, videos, interactive simulations and lots of different activities for you to complete. This will allow you to learn and demonstrate your understanding in a bunch of different ways.
4. Complete a Lesson and save your work
There’s no need to save your work in Stile. All of your work is saved automatically, every few seconds while you work. Your teacher can view it at any time. They can also see a timestamp of when you first opened a Lesson and when you most recently worked on it or submitted it.
Once you complete a Lesson, click the I’m finished, show my teacher button at the bottom of the page. This will give your teacher a notification that your work is submitted.
Note: If you accidentally submit your Lesson before completing all of the questions, don't panic! You can take it back. The I'm finished button will be replaced by an Oops! button. The only time this won't be an option is on a quiz or test, or if your Lesson is overdue.
5. Review your marks and feedback
Your teacher can leave feedback for you after you submit your work. When they do, you'll get a notification at the top of your screen.
Click the notification to go directly to the work so you can see how you did. If your teacher requested resubmission, then that means you can try again. You will see an alert icon next to the Lesson on your Lessons page, too. A snapshot of your work is saved every time you submit the Lesson so your teacher can review the changes you've made. Once you are happy with your changes, click the I'm finished button again.
6. Revise with the Stile X app and workbook pages
If your school has purchased Stile X workbooks, you can complete the workbook activities for related Lessons to help ace your exams. You can also find links to printable workbook pages and recap videos at the bottom of each Lesson if you don't already have the workbook.
The Stile X mobile app comes packed with videos, flashcards, and quizzes. Learn how to log in to Stile X here. You can track your mobile progress and find other resources in the Folder next to your Lessons.
Warning: Your school's subscription might not include these resources. Ask your teacher if you don't see them in your Lessons.
7. Log out if you are on a shared device
If you share a tablet or computer with other students or siblings, then you should always log out when you are finished with Stile for the day. This will prevent others from mistakenly accessing your account.
To log out of Stile, click on your name in the upper right corner of the screen and then click the Log out button, next to Change password.
