8 Click on Add New User After saving the information, the system will return to the page above. Now you are ready to add Users (students) to the Group or Class you created. To do so, click on Add New User. Note: A teacher s name may be added to a group or class but the system will read the entry as a student. Thus, as a member of a Group/Class, a teacher would receive student-level permissions or functionality rather than teacher-level permissions or functionality. 8 Last Updated on November 18, 2011

9 Select a Username and Password and type into appropriate boxes. Type in student s first and last name. Highlight User Group and click on Save Information. To add a User (student) to the Group or Class you created, give the User (student) a unique Username and Password. We recommend using the same name as both a Username and Password. For example, if the student s name is Joe Jones, you could enter joejones as the Username and Password. Then enter joe for the first name and jones for the last name. CAVEAT: If two students have the same name, you MUST differentiate the two names by including a middle initial or other distinguishing mark. If the exact name is entered twice under the same school location, the second entry will override the first. Remove the checkmark in the Use Security Question box by clicking on the box to remove the checkmark. You do NOT need an Alternate Name or an address. Do not check the box next to Force Password Reset. Next, highlight the name of your Group or Class in the User Group box and click SAVE INFORMATION. Another option is to select a generic Username and Password such as scienceclass. If you choose this option, you MUST also select a generic first and last name which you would give to all of the students in lieu of a unique Username and Password with unique first and last names as illustrated above. For example, if the generic Username/Password is scienceclass, the generic first name could be science and the generic last name 9 Last Updated on November 18, 2011
