Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Begin by Creating a Class:

   • Once your class is created, you can add students immediately by clicking the 'Add Students Now' button or later by selecting 'Roster' from the drop-down menu next to the class name.

2. Adding Students:

   • Students can create their accounts and connect to the class using a class code provided by the teacher. Alternatively, teachers can create student accounts directly.

3. Importing Students Directly:

   • In the roster management area, click on 'Import Students.'

   • At the import screen, click 'Proceed.'

   • Enter the student's first name, last name, a unique username, and a password for each, separated by commas. Ensure that usernames are unique across the Explorer OHS platform.

   • Repeat the process for each student you wish to add.

4. Review and Import:

   • After entering all student information, review your list. If you need to make any changes (e.g., if a username has already been taken), click 'Back' to modify the entries.

   • Once everything is correct, click 'Next' and 'Import.'

5. Email the Class Roster:

   • Choose the option 'Email to me' to have the complete class roster, including student passwords, sent to your email associated with the account.

6. Managing the Roster:

   • In the roster section, you will see all the students you have added and their details.

   • If you need to reset a student's password, click on their username and enter a new password.

7. Student Login:

   • Provide students with the usernames and passwords you have created so they can log in to the program.

These instructions ensure a seamless integration of students into your class on the iSPIRE platform, allowing you to manage your classroom effectively.
