(If your school uses Wonde, any alterations made in your school management information system will be automatically updated to your Discovery Education accounts)
If you are a School Admin and already use the User Import Tool to update your classes and users, it's easy to get ready for a new academic year.
Step 1 - Archive old accounts and update student year groups
- Open the Admin Dashboard from the Global Nav menu on the left-hand side of the screen
- Select User Import from the Tools tab
- Click on the History tab
- Choose from Export Students or Export Teachers depending on which area you would like to make alterations to
- A document containing all the current details of accounts within these categories will then be downloaded to your device
- Ensure the document is opened in Excel and then in the Status column on the document, enter a 0 or a 1 depending on whether the user will remain active or should be archived
0 = Archive user or class
1 = Active user or class - For the Export Students document, update the year group that the student will be moving to into the Grade column
- Save the .CSV files when all the alterations have been made. It is a good idea to include the academic year in the title of the file, so that they are easier to locate.
- Click on the Import tab and use the Upload Files area at the bottom of the screen to upload your new files. (Please allow upto 20 minutes for your changes to be uploaded. You can check on the History tab for progress and any error reports.)
Step 2 - Edit Class Groups (use this method if the class groups will have mostly the same students)
- Open the Admin Dashboard from the Global Nav menu on the left-hand side of the screen
- Select the Classrooms tab from the top menu
- Select a class from the list by clicking on the class name
- Click on the pencil icon next to the class name to open up the editing area
- Edit the class group by adding the name of the class that they will be known as, the year group and then remove or add teachers as appropriate. Don't forget to click Save!
- Any new students joining this class can be added by using the Add Students to Class tab
- And any students leaving the class can be removed by choosing Unenroll next to their name
- Repeat for all classes moving forward
- A new class (eg Reception class) can be created by cllcking on the Add Classroom button from the Classrooms tab. More details on how to do this here
- A inactive class group (eg, year 6 cohorts) can be archived by clicking on the class name and choosing Manage Classroom and Archive Classroom
