FAQS:  teachers  

Getting  started  FAQs:  

1.  What  if  students  activate  codes  and  create  their  own  accounts  over  the  holidays?  • Schools  can  still  get  their  students  up  and  running  over  the  school  holidays  and  

arrange  class  set-­‐up  later.  As  long  as  students  are  using  the  same  email  address  to  log  in,  all  of  their  assess  data  will  become  visible  once  teachers  have  set  up  the  class.  

• If  students  go  ahead  and  create  an  account  using  a  personal  email  address,  students/schools  can  liaise  with  Digital  Support  to  have  the  code/product  moved  across  into  their  correct  account.  

2.  What  if  a  student  already  has  an  Oxford  Digital  account  set  up  before  I  add  them  to  my  class?  

• The  system  will  recognize  the  existing  account  and  whatever  password  the  student  currently  uses  to  log  in  will  still  be  able  to  be  used.    

3.  Can  schools/teachers  specify  passwords  for  students  to  log  in?  • Teachers  who  add  students  to  a  class  cannot  set  a  password.  Passwords  will  be  

generated  automatically.  • Once  logged  in,  students  can  edit  their  profile  to  change  their  password  to  

anything  they  want  or  whatever  their  teacher  or  school  wants  them  to  use.  • Oxford  Digital  Support  can  specify  a  password  in  the  school  set-­‐up  process  upon  

request.  

4.  Can  schools/teachers  add  products  to  students’  accounts?  • No.  Teachers/schools  can  allocate  an  obook  product  for  their  classes,  but  

students  will  still  need  to  log  in  and  activate  a  code.  • Oxford  Digital  Support  can  still  populate  libraries  with  products  via  bulk  upload  

on  the  school’s  behalf  upon  request  and  confirmation  of  purchase.
