To make things easier to your students add a direct link to your customized platform for vocabulary in your website.
Ask to your webmaster to add this link. (e.g. http://www.gameslearnchinese.com/index.php?school_id=22, where 22 is the ID of this sample school).
You can find your link code (and school ID) under Account tab.
You can capture registered users in your school. That means your students must have an account on our system before capturing them in your school.
(Remember that there are also unregistered students with limited access. Those ones can not be captured).In the following image you will see how your students can create their accounts:
All your (captured) students will enjoy a premium account. That means:
There are 2 methods to capture (add) students to your school:
To capture a student you need the User name and Email he used to create his account.
Follow these steps to capture students:
1 Log in as administrator.
2 Go to Students tab and click on Add Student.
3 Search the student by User name and Email and click on Save.
In the case you have a lot of students to capture, there is an alternative to make things easier to administrators-teachers.
Students can join directly to an school if they know the School ID and the required pass-key.
Follow these steps to proceed with this method:
1 Log in as administrator.
2 You may proceed as before (going to Students and click on Add student). But if you want to setup the passkey go previously to 'Settings' tab.
3 Select Set a passkey for self registration set button.
4The School Id is generated automatically. Type a secure pass-key (e.g. 'my-pa$$-key'). There is only a passkey for school. If you change it does not affect to former students, but next ones will need the new passkey.
5 The main administrator can receive an e-mail each time an student is added to the school by selecting Do you want to be informed each time a student is registered? option.
6 Activate (or desactivate) this method under Do you want to activate this system now? option.
7 Send this data (School ID and PassKey) to your students. Those codes may be sent to many students (not an individual code but a school one).
8To join, each student must Log in.
9 Then click on Join to School button under Account Settings by using your School ID and Pass-key.
10 And finally enter the School ID and Pass-key.
IMPORTANT: To play games you need a student account (administrators and teachers are not consider as users, they need a student account and they can be grouped under a classroom named 'Teachers').
