Cuttly for Educators A Guide to Link Management for Teachers, Schools & Digital Learning

Education is increasingly digital, multi-platform and collaborative. Teachers, tutors, academic institutions and students share learning materials across LMS systems, emails, PDFs, presentations, printed notes, classroom boards and messaging apps. Managing dozens or hundreds of links can quickly become chaotic. Cuttly helps educators organise learning resources, generate QR Codes, track engagement, simplify classroom interactions and enhance digital communication. For a complete platform overview, see the Cuttly Platform Overview or the main site at Cutt.ly.

Why Educators Need Link Management

Digital classrooms rely heavily on links — lesson plans, materials, videos, quizzes, forms, research articles and assignments. Without structure, links become scattered across platforms, making it harder for teachers and students to stay organised. Link management helps educators:

• distribute resources clearly,
• maintain consistency in learning materials,
• track engagement (who is interacting with content),
• simplify access for all students,
• create mobile-friendly and print-friendly QR Codes,
• organise links by class, semester or subject.

Short Links for Classroom Resources

Teachers often share long URLs from LMS systems, file storage platforms, academic resources and video lessons. Cuttly helps transform these into clean, readable short links that are easy for students to access.

• readable short URLs on slides, boards or worksheets,
• no broken lines in emails or messages,
• easy verbal sharing during lessons,
• less confusion for younger students.

QR Codes for Physical & Digital Classrooms

QR Codes allow students to instantly access learning materials by scanning from their devices. Cuttly automatically generates QR Codes for every short link.

• QR codes on printed homework sheets,
• on classroom posters and boards,
• for science projects and lab stations,
• for museum tours or field trips,
• for digital scavenger hunts or quizzes,
• for parents at open house events.

More details available in the QR Code Guide.

Link-in-Bio for Class or Course Hubs

Teachers and institutions often need a simple homepage for all class resources. Cuttly Link-in-bio pages provide a minimal, clean and mobile-friendly way to gather:

• assignments,
• learning materials,
• video lessons,
• downloadable worksheets,
• office hours & contact links,
• Google Forms or tests,
• parent communication channels.

Organising Links with Campaign Tags

Educators often need to organise links per:

• subject,
• module or topic,
• week or semester,
• student groups,
• projects or special events,
• exams and preparation materials.

Tags (Campaigns) help structure links for each group of resources and provide aggregated analytics.

Learn more in the Campaigns Tool.

Analytics for Educators

Analytics can help educators understand student engagement. For example:

• when students open assignments,
• whether they use mobile or desktop,
• which resources receive the most attention,
• which content formats perform best.

A full breakdown of analytics features can be found in the Analytics Guide.

Automation for Educational Workflows

Automation saves time for teachers who manage recurring content.

• automatically generate links for weekly assignments,
• send out digital resources on schedule,
• tag new links by class or group,
• create short links for LMS or CMS updates.

Automation options listed in the Integrations Hub.

API for Schools & Developers

Educational institutions with their own internal systems can integrate Cuttly through:

• Regular API for simple link creation,
• Team API for school-wide environments.

Team API enables:

• separate school departments as Teams,
• teacher-specific workspaces,
• isolated analytics per group,
• full automation for LMS or CMS integrations.

Offline & Hybrid Learning

QR Codes and short links bridge offline materials with digital resources.

• printed worksheets linking to online videos,
• lab instructions linking to interactive tools,
• library or museum activities linking to content collections.
