Creating a Single Student or Teacher Account

This guide only applies to users who access Revision Assistant on the Revision Assistant website. If you access Revision Assistant through a Learning Management System (LMS), such as Blackboard, Canvas, or Moodle, please see the guides provided by your LMS or your school to complete this task.

There are multiple ways to create student and teacher accounts in Revision Assistant.

• Option 1: Students and teachers create their own accounts with Google sign-on.
• Option 2: You create accounts in bulk by uploading a spreadsheet of user info.
• Option 3: You create accounts in bulk by roster syncing.
• Option 4: You create accounts one at a time.

Follow the steps below to learn how to create a single account for a teacher or a student (Option 4).

1. Log into Revision Assistant.
2. Follow the next steps based on the type of Revision Assistant account you have.

   Administrator (no teacher account)		Administrator and teacher
   In the center panel, select the school you want to create accounts for.	OR	Click the down arrow in your "Welcome!" heading to reveal a dropdown with user types. Select Administrator from the dropdown. This will take you to your Administrator page. In the center panel, select the school you want to create accounts for.

3. To create a single student account, select Students in the sidebar. To create a single teacher account, select Teachers.
4. Click the Create Account button.
5. Enter the required information for the user. Here are a few tips to help you do that:
   1. If creating a student account, choose either a username or email type account (see the note below).
   2. If creating a teacher account, an email address must be used.
   3. If you have an intended password, you can specify it or have Revision Assistant create one. Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length.

Emails vs. Usernames: While not mandatory, using email addresses instead of usernames allows students to reset their own passwords if they ever need to. On the other hand, though it does mean that teachers will have to reset passwords for student, choosing to use student usernames accomodates those students who do not have email addresses. Usernames are also a good choice when students lack an email address but do have a school ID number or code they can use as their unique username. There is no length or character requirement for usernames. Though because every username must be unique to each student, it may be necessary to add a school-specific "tag" if the desired username is particularly common.

For example:
Desired username: jsmith
Accepted username: jsmith+PittMS

6. Click Create Account at the bottom of the page to complete the process.
7. A success page will come up with the created account credentials (and to let you know that you rock).
8. You can navigate back to the account list or create another account by clicking the Create Another Account button.
