This article explains how to create a new student account.
Last updated - July 21, 2023- Begin by clicking on the Manage Students icon from the Educator Portal. This will take you to a list of your current students.
- To add an account for a new student, click on the + Create new student button on the top right side of the page.
⚠️ You should only create a new account for students who do not already have a Skill Struck account. If a student already has a Skill Struck account but is new to your class, you should add the student to your section. - A window will open allowing you to input the new student's information. Type in their name, username, and email address.
- From the Platform drop-down menu, choose which platform the student will be using: Launch Pad, Voyage, Type Station, or Robotics.
- From the Section drop-down menu, choose which of your class sections the student will be a part of.
- Finally, under Student Password, type in the password that the student will use for their account.
- Click Save Student Changes to finalize the new student account.
For student accounts, we recommend using the student's email address as their Skill Struck username, and their initials followed by their student ID number as their password.
Alternate Method
Another way to add a new student is by using the + Add Students button in Manage Sections.
- From Manage Sections, click on the +Add Students button next to the section your new student belongs in.
- Enter your new student's email address under Add by Email and click Add Students.
OR - Upload your new student's information via table or CSV file and click Add Students.
- An email will be sent to your student inviting them to create an account. The new student will appear as Pending until their account has been created.
