Introduction

An integration with Google Classroom automates rostering and SSO by using Google Classroom to import students, teachers, and classes to the platform from the integrated domain.

Account & Data Management

School administrators or teachers use School Level accounts in the Portal to manage classes and users within the school.

Note: District Level account management is not available for those rostering with Google Classroom.

Important: To ensure data privacy, we have entrusted rostering to schools and districts. This allows them to have complete control over their accounts and ensures the security of their data.

Creating Users & Classes

Students, teachers, and classes will be created when data is synced. For Google Classroom, data is synced from the Users page under the Classes section.

Distributing Content

Once users are rostered and assigned to classes, the school account admin can assign content to students, teachers, or entire classes.
