How do students sign in?
Why can't my student log in from home?
If a student is able to sign in at school but not at home, this is likely an issue with an easy sign-in. Students have the ability to create an easy sign-in which is a simpler username and password. These easy sign-ins only work at the location the student created them. If a student setup an easy sign-in at school, it will only work at school. If this is the case, they will still be able to sign in with their Acellus ID and generated password. For more information on finding their ID and password, please see this tutorial: Student Sign-In Cards
Where can students see their daily/weekly goal progress?
There are three different student interfaces in Acellus Gold. Students will see their goal progress slightly different in each one.
In the Elementary interface (students in pre-K through third grade) students will have a sticker on their course tile if the daily goal for that course has been met for the day. They can also see their weekly goal progress by clicking into a course and opening the menu. For more details see the tutorial: Student Interface – Elementary
In the Middle school interface (students in fourth through eighth grade) students will see a weekly goal status on each course tile. They can also click into a course, open the menu and see their weekly goal status. For more details see the tutorial: Student Interface – Middle School
In the High school interface (students in ninth grade and above) students will have a weekly goal status on each course tile. They can also click into a course, open the menu and see their weekly goal status. For more details see the tutorial: Student Interface – High School
Do Acellus videos have captions or subtitles?
