7 Click on Redeem Master Code

8 Enter the appropriate Master Code, and click Next. (Yes, the first time you log in, you will have to enter the same Master Code twice once to register as a teacher & once to redeem the code. You ll only need to do this once.)

9 Set End Date. Click Create Redemption Code.

10 This is the code that will be needed by students when they initially log on. IMPORTANT: STUDENTS DO NOT GET THE 16-CHARACTER MASTER CODE. THAT S FOR ADMINISTRATORS/TEACHERS ONLY. THEY GET THIS 12-CHARACTER CODE SHOWN HERE.

11 Your Home Page now has one book/program added to it. Follow the same steps, using the other Master Codes, to add other programs, like LearnSmart.

12 Be sure to click on the HELP link in the upper righthand tool bar for quick start guides, including: How to Register How to Access Content Managing Classes Because Common Core Achieve Online can be solely used for distance learning, the only tasks the teacher needs to perform in McGraw-Hill s ConnectEd are: Redeem the Code Create a Class Assign the Content We ve already redeemed the code. Now let s go through the final 2 teacher steps required to get students started.

13 From the Teacher Home Page, click on Associated Course Content/Common Core Achieve.

14 Now, at the top, find Manage and Assign.

15 Next, go to My Classes Then, click on Create Class.

16 Name your class, and click SAVE.

17 Initially, of course, there are no students in the class you just created. One way to add students is to give the 12-character code to your students and have them register. They won t be able to get started until you ve added them to a class, but this way you won t have to import their names. After they have logged on and registered themselves, you can click on Add Students.

18 Enter your search criteria (including student s name if you have it), then click SEARCH. When student is found, click the box in front of his/her name, then click Save.

19 This student now appears in your class roster. The student has been assigned to this class. Content must now be assigned to this class.

20 Click CONNECTED at the top of the page to return to your home screen.

21 Before assigning content, let s look at one more way to add students. Click on Import Students.

22 Follow these 4 steps to import a student, or an entire class roster.

23 1. Download the student template. 2. Insert the required student information: Last Name, First Name, Gender, Grade Level (not important to Adult Education, but required in ConnectEd. Note: You can also assign the students usernames and password. And, if you add the redemption code for them, they won t need to register on their own. They can skip this step.

24 3. Browse for the spreadsheet you saved with the student data. 4. Click Check File for Errors.

25 It s easy to make an error when you are new to using this process, but it s also easy to correct the errors. The errors are described for you in an error report. I have given a student a username that is already in use. I will correct this on the spreadsheet and try again.

26 When your spreadsheet contains no errors, click Complete Import.

27 A file that has imported successfully will be shown. Until the file has completed loading, the status will be listed as Pending.

28 Now, return to the home screen and select Associated Course Content: Common Core Achieve.

29 Go to Manage and Assign.

30 Go to My Classes. Notice, only one student is currently in the class.

31 Click to Add Students.

32 Click Search. If you are searching for a particular student, enter information about that student before searching.

33 When search is complete, and student is found, check the box in front of student s name, then click Save.

34 When finished searching, and all students have been added to my class, their names will all appear in the class roster. I have: 1) redeemed the code, and 2) created the class. The only step left for the teacher is to assign content.

35 Clicking on CONNECTED at the top of the page, I have returned to the home screen. Next, click on Assign Content.

36 Step 1: Select Common Core Achieve by checking the box in front of the title.

37 After clicking next, choose the class by name. The student roster appears.

38 Check the box in front of the name of each student to whom you want to assign the content. Click next.

39 Confirm that you want to assign this content to these students by clicking Assign.

40 A message will appear, letting you know that the content has been assigned to these students. As a teacher, you are done in ConnectEd. Now, let s go to the Common Core Achieve Online program. Start by returning to your home screen.

41 Two clicks are required. First, click on the image of the CCA program.

42 Once again, click on the image of the program. You are now leaving ConnectEd, and going to Common Core Achieve Online.

43 You will see your CCA home screen. Click on Users to verify that all students are assigned to this course.

44 All students listed here, in the roster, can now log on and begin using Common Core Achieve Online.
