Self-rostering Literacy accounts individually

At the beginning of a new school year or when you first start using the Imagine Learning Literacy Suite, you'll need to use the Setup Wizard to create staff and student accounts, assign student accounts to groups, and assign product access to students.

If you are an Administrator, you can use the Setup Wizard to create staff and student accounts; if you are a Teacher, you can create student accounts.

Both Administrators and Teachers can create or import new accounts or groups, assign students to groups, and assign product access to students.

If you have already created your accounts, you can also use the Setup Wizard to assign existing student accounts to a group or change students' product access and edit their product settings.

This article walks you through these steps:

• Launching the Setup Wizard
• Adding staff accounts individually
• Adding student accounts individually
• Assigning products to students
• Changing the default product settings

1. Log in to the Literacy Suite.

3. If you have only 1 product, access the Setup Wizard in the Quick Start section of the educator portal.

Assigning products to students

Once you have created any new student accounts, you should assign product access to students for any Literacy Suite products that your organization (district or school) has purchased. Students must be assigned access to a product in order to log in and begin using that product. 

To assign products to students:

1. For each student account, click the checkbox for each product you wish to assign. To assign the same product to all the students in the list, click the checkbox in the applicable product's column header. Only products that your school has purchased are available to select.
   
2. Click Next.

Changing the default product settings

Once you assign product access to student accounts, you can review and update any default settings for that product. Default settings include the language support that students receive while they use the Imagine Learning Literacy products and the desired student session time.

To change the default product settings:

1. Imagine Language & Literacy and Imagine Español only: Change the Session Time (in minutes) for each student. The default is 20 minutes.

   Students will be automatically logged out of the program when their session time ends, and if they want to continue using the program, they must log in again. If students use both products, the session time is the same for each.

2. Imagine Language & Literacy and Imagine Español only:  Choose the Language Support for each student.

   Language Support is the audio language for the instructions of the activities that each student hears when they use the program. By default, the audio language for Imagine Language & Literacy is English and the audio language for Imagine Español is Spanish. 

3.  Imagine Reading and Imagine Lectura only: Choose the Audio Support for each student.

   Audio support provides students with the option to have specific passages or questions read aloud to them. By default, audio support is enabled.

4. Review the Product Assignment Summary. This shows which students have been assigned products and the default product settings you chose for each student.
5. Click Done at the bottom of the page.
6. Verify that your students can log in to their assigned products.
