Start your upgrade

As a Discovery Education subscriber, your school can enjoy all the benefits of our new platform as part of your existing subscription at no extra cost. 

To minimise duplication and delays, we suggest you designate a point of contact (SLT or IT team) to start the upgrade.

Get started with Wonde

The upgraded Discovery Education platform requires teachers and students to have individual logins. To simplify the management of your user accounts and classes, we have partnered with Wonde to provide you with a simple, efficient and secure way to share your data with Discovery Education via the MIS data sync. You can read about our partnership here. Please ensure your school meets our MIS data requirements for the integration.

There is no cost to the school to setup the Wonde integration.

• If you do not have Wonde installed in your school, contact Wonde to install the Discovery Education Wonde connection on your MIS server.
   
• If you already have Wonde installed, approve access to the Discovery Education app on your App dashboard.

If you require any support with your Wonde setup, you can contact Wonde on
Tel: 01638 779 144 (option 1) or Email: support@wonde.com 

Once the Discovery Education app is approved by your school on Wonde, our platform will automatically receive the information within 48 hours and user accounts and classes will be created as per your MIS information.
Please ensure your school meets our MIS data requirements for the integration.

Note: If you wish to limit the number of users and/or classes synced through to our platform, please refer to this Access control settings article.

Usernames

Your Discovery Education usernames do not reside in your MIS. Both teacher and student usernames will be created for the Experience platform based on the data that is pulled through from your MIS.

• Teacher usernames will be <<work_email_addresses>> (as defined by your MIS data) Please see footnote below
• Pupil usernames will be <<first initial>><<last name>> e.g. John Smith would be: jsmith
  Please note that in the event of a duplicate record a random number may be added to the username e.g. jsmith24

Once usernames are ready, you will be able to login and access your upgraded account. Please see details on how to get started.

If you would like to have a detailed product walk through, you can reach your account manager on 020 7870 4536.

If you are a Scottish or an International school, OR do not wish to complete the Wonde integration, you can choose to upgrade using manual setup where a nominated school admin can bulk import and update user accounts and classes. Please email schoolsupport@discoveryed.com with the admin's details to get started.
