As a teacher, how can I provide students their login information?

When it comes to providing students their login information, there are a few different ways depending on your school setup. We've covered two methods below that will help make life easier so you can get your students learning as quickly as possible.

Note, however, that if using our Single Sign-On option, students simply need to use their Azure AD, Office 365, or Google credentials to access the platform.

 

Access Cards

On Zenva Schools, you have the option to use printable access cards that provide the web address for log in, the student's username or email (depending on your school's login method), and their password. By providing your students with these cards, they'll be able to jump right in and start learning.

There are two ways to access and print these cards.

Before Starting:

  • Emails on the access cards won't show unless the students have a registered email attached to the account. If your school used Username login originally and switched to Email, students will need to be manually assigned email addresses.
  • Passwords set before May 20th, 2022 will not be visible. See this article for more details: Why can't I see my student's password?
  • If using Single Sign-On, accounts will have a Zenva Schools password attached to their account. They can use this password to log in during emergencies, but the assumption is all password management will be handled by their Microsoft or Google account. We are unable to display students passwords for those accounts, as they are stored securely with those respective platforms.

 

You can print the cards for all students added to your school by following the instructions below.

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Hover the mouse on the Administration menu link.
  3. Click Students on the drop-down menu.


  1. Select the Print Access Cards button.


 

From here, you can print the cards and distribute them as needed!

 

After creating classrooms and adding students to them, you may want to print cards for just the students in that classroom. You can do this via the steps below.

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Click the Classrooms menu link.
  3. On the Classrooms page, locate a classroom.
  4. Locate the classroom and select the Print Acess Cards link.


Alternatively, if you'd like to see the list of students in the classroom first:

Click the Students link instead...

... and click the Print Access Cards button on the classroom's page.


 

Should a student lose their access card, you can print a single card for that specific student. There are two ways to find a single student's card.

 

Print Card from School Students List

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Hover the mouse on the Administration menu link.
  3. Click Students on the drop-down menu.
  4. Locate the student and select the Print Access Card link.


 

Print Card from Classroom Students List

  2. Click the Classrooms menu link.
  3. On the Classrooms page, locate a classroom.
  4. Click the Students link to access the Classroom's students.
  5. Locate the student and select the Print Access Card link.


 

Email (Email Login, Non-SSO only)

If your school is set up for email login AND you're using valid email addresses, you can put the responsibility of account management to your student.

When creating students, you have the option to automatically email them their password, as described in this article: How to Add School Students

Additionally, at any time, students can use the Forgot Password reset flow to change their password in this scenario. Thus, in this case, you will simply need to make sure students understand which email address to use to log in.
