Teacher and Administrator Differences

Teachers use the program to access content and create classes and students. The single administrator creates and manages all teacher accounts. The administrator can also be a teacher, in which case they are included in the teacher license count.

*subject to number of purchased licenses
** unless Administrator is also a teacher

Creating Teachers

Note: Only administrators can create teachers.

1. Login as the administrator

2. Select the Teachers menu

3. Select the New Teacher link from the top right corner

4. Enter details for the new teacher. Be sure to use a valid email address since the new teacher will be sent their temporary password and login instructions to this email address.

5. When the new teacher logs in for the first time, they will be asked to change their temporary password.

Creating Classes

1. After logging in, click the Classes menu from the My Account tab.

2. Select the New Class link from the top right corner of the page.

3. Enter a name for your new class.

4. Once your new class is created, you will be able to create students belonging to the class.

Creating Students

Note: Teachers can create student accounts manually, or let students self-enroll using Class Codes.

1. Students must belong to a class. For information on creating classes, click here.

2. To manually add students to a specific class, click the Students link beside that class name.

3. Click the New Student button from the top right corner of the page.

4. Enter details for the new student. Username and Password are used to login and uniquely identify the student. Username must be absolutely unique since it identifies a student from among all Brainingcamp students throughout the world as belonging to the specific class . We recommend using a naming scheme that is both universally unique to that student and is easy to remember. For example, school assigned emails are relatively unique and easy to remember. However, if a particular Username has already been used by another teacher, you can no longer use that Username as it is no longer unique. In such cases you may consider appending the Class Name to the student's email address. A Username like 6A_john_smith@springfieldk-12.net is likely to be absolutely unique. First and Last are required fields that help you identify the student by name. The Notes field is not required and is a custom field for you to include any useful information.

5. To have students self-enroll in a class, give students the Class Code for the class into which you would like them to enroll.

6. From the main Login, have students click the "Have a class code? Sign up here." link and follow the instructions presented to them.

Class Codes

1. Class Codes can be used to let your students setup their own Student accounts. For details on how to do this see Creating Students.

2. Anyone who obtains the Class Code will be able to create a Student Account and join the class so be careful about letting your class code become public.

3. To reset a Class Code, click the New Code link under the Actions column.

Note: Once a new code is generated, any students who have been given the old class code and who have NOT yet registered will need to be given the new class code.

Deleting Classes

1. After logging in, click the Classes menu from the My Account tab.

2. To delete a class, select Delete beside the Class Name to be removed.

3. Confirm that you wish to delete the class. Please note that deleting a class will permanently delete all the student accounts and report data belonging to the class.

2. Edit the student acount and then click the Update button. Note that it is not possible to edit a Username.

Zooming In

When presenting using a projector or interactive whiteboard, you may want to zoom in to highlight certain areas of the screen. The easiest way to do this is using your browser's built-in zooming features.

Most web browsers enable you to zoom in by pressing CTRL + PLUS SIGN (+), and zoom out by pressing CTRL + HYPHEN (-). On a MAC, zoom in by pressing the Apple key + PLUS SIGN (+), and zoom out by pressing the Apple key + HYPHEN (-).

Using and Old Product Key

Product Keys are no longer used and have been replaced by a single school Administrator user who creates and deletes teacher accounts.  Once logged in, the Administrator can transfer their rights to any other Teacher. All existing Product Keys have been assigned an Administrator who should have received email notification. If you have a Product Key and wish to know your administrator, complete this online form. If you are still having difficulties, please contact Brainingcamp directly.
