Click the Next Step button to continue.

Teacher Guide 4

Page 5: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

6. You have completed your account setup. You will see a brief overview of the 5 student sections of Passport. Scroll down and click the Log In button. The system will automatically log you in. To log in in the future, go to passport.emcl.com, enter your email address and password, and click Go to log in. (Note: there is a Forgot password? link on the login screen that you and your students can use at any time. An email with a reset link will be sent to the email address connected to your account. Click on the link and enter a new password when prompted to log in to your account.)

B. Update Teacher Information

Section 2: Courses Page

A. Add New Courses

Passport automatically logs teachers in to the Courses page. This is your teacher dashboard. To log out of Passport at any time, click the red box with the white X in the top right.

For new teachers, this page is blank. For active Passport teachers, there is a list of the courses currently or previously taught. If a class has ended, click the toggle button under the Active column to deactivate a course (white = deactivated / green = active).

Students have access to deactivated courses, but new work cannot be assigned or submitted for grading. Deactivate all courses from the previous school year before creating new courses for the upcoming school year. Do not delete a course, as that will permanently remove the course and all associated student data.

Teacher Guide 7

Page 8: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

To add a new course, click the Add a Course button, and a new screen prompts you to enter course information.

You will enter a title for your course and choose your language program.

Once you choose the language program, for the course, you must activate which books you want to appear for your students. You can activate as many levels of the language program as you choose. Activating the books will allow you to assign activities from any ancillary books for that level as well.

Teacher Guide 8

Page 9: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

To activate a particular level, hover over the black and white textbook icon and click the Activate button. When you move your cursor off the the textbook icon, activated textbooks will appear in color.

Next, choose an End Date for your course by clicking in the box and choosing the desired date using the pop-up calendar. On the End Date, this course will deactivate so that teachers cannot assign or evaluate new material and students cannot make changes to assignments. Both teachers and students will be able to access deactivated courses for 4 years after the course End Date.

Once you have completed the Add a Course form, click the Add button. A “Save Successful” message will appear, and this course will be added to your course list.

You can activate/deactivate any level of the textbook available for your language program at any time by clicking on the book icons under the Active Books column on your Courses page. Active books will appear in color in the Edit Active Books window, while deactivated books remain in black and white. Click the Update button to save any changes.

Teacher Guide 9

Page 10: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

You can edit course information at any time by clicking on the pencil icon. Click the Update button to save any changes. You can delete courses by clicking on the trash can icon and confirming that you want to Delete the course. (Note: any work submitted by students will also be deleted. Rely on the End Date to deactivate courses but keep the information accessible.)

Teacher Guide 10

Page 11: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

B. Add & Activate Students

Once a course is created, you can add students. Passport will identify students by their email addresses, so it is highly recommended that students use their school email addresses to access Passport. After the initial login, a student can change his or her profile picture or password at any time. They cannot change the email address to which the account is registered.

To add students to a course, first, click on the desired course.

Then, scroll below the Class Profile and click the Add a Student button.

I. Method 1: Invite Link

Copy and paste the course invite link and provide it to students to have them register themselves. Each course has its own individual link. Click on each course from the Courses Page to retrieve its specific course invite link.

This method is recommended for adding large numbers of students at the beginning of a course. (Note: be sure that the page has fully loaded in your browser before copying the invite link to ensure the link is intact.)

Student View: After clicking the invite link, students who are new to Passport will click the blue Create an Account button.

Teacher Guide 11

Page 12: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

Students who have previously created a Passport account should click the green I Have an Account button.

You will send out new course invite links for every new course you create. Students moving from one level to another or who are taking multiple language programs in Passport will use the green I Have an Account button to add any new courses to their accounts.

Create an Account: After clicking the blue button, students will complete the form, including their name, email address, and a password of their choice. Once students have completed the form, they will click the Create Account button, take a profile picture, download plug-ins, and be asked to check for an Activation email. The activation email verifies the email address they entered and ensures the student will receive email communication from the platform. Once the student clicks on the link in the activation email, their account will be activated, and they will go to passport.emcl.com to log in in the future.

Teacher Guide 12

Page 13: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

I Have an Account: After clicking the green button, students will log in with the email address and password they usually use for their Passport account. Once students click the Add button, they will be logged in to Passport, and the new course will be added to their account. (Note: students can retrieve their password by clicking on the Forgot password? link. A reset link will be sent to the email address connected with their Passport account.)

II. Method 2: Manual Entry

Manually enter a student’s email address and first and last name. This method is recommended for adding only a few students at a time or for transferring a student to a different course. If a student already has a Passport account, the system will automatically populate the student’s first and last name for you based on the email address you entered. Click Add Student. Students who have not yet activated their account will appear in your student list with a gray Not Activated icon.

Student View: Students will receive an email notification that you have added them to a course.

Teacher Guide 13

Page 14: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

For new Passport users, this email will act as an activation email with a link to log in for the first time. After clicking on the activation link, students will create a password, take a profile picture, download plug-ins, and be logged in to Passport. They will now appear in your student list with a green Activated icon.

Students who already have Passport accounts will log in with the email address and password they usually use for their Passport account. Once students click the Add button, they will be logged in to Passport, and the new course will be added to their account. (Note: students can retrieve their password by clicking on the Forgot password? link. A reset link will be sent to the email address connected with their Passport account.)

Once students are activated, their information will be displayed in your student list with a green Activated icon next to their names. Not Activated students will have a gray icon.

Teacher Guide 14

Page 15: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

If a student did not receive the activation email, resend the email by clicking on the pencil icon next to the student’s name. In the Edit Student window, click the Resend Email Invite button in the top right. The button will change to “Email Invite Sent!” Close the window by clicking on Cancel in the bottom right.

Alternatively, you can set a temporary password or generate a random password for the Not Activated student in the Edit Student window. Either type in a Temporary Password of your choice or click the Generate Random Password button. Click Update Student in the bottom right to save changes. Provide this password to the student, who can log in with their email address and temporary password on the standard login screen (passport.emcl.com). The student will be prompted to change this temporary password when activating the account.

Teacher Guide 15

C. Class Profile

Class Profile pages provide an overview of each course. To access a Class Profile page, first go to your Courses page and click on a course.

The Class Profile page has three different components: (I.) the top of the screen has three tabs with course information, (II.) next is the Add a Student button, and, beneath that button, (III.) there is a list of students in the course.

I. Basic Course Information

Class Information tab: includes the name of the course as well as the teacher’s email address, the start and end date of the course, the overall course average, and a visual representation of the percentage of completed and evaluated assignments.

Teacher Guide 16

Page 17: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

Student Performance tab: has an interactive chart called Grade Distribution with color-coded grade information: Red for Students Requiring Attention, Orange for Students at Risk, and Blue for Students on Track. Hover over a bar on the graph with your cursor to see the student name and average. Click on a bar to launch the Student Profile (for a detailed description see Section D. Student Profile below).

Textbooks tab: provides a visualization of the textbook(s) currently activated for assigning and student use in the course. (Note: this is a static tab. To activate or deactivate textbooks for any course click on Courses, locate the name of the course you want to modify and click on the textbook icons. This will allow you to edit the textbooks for the course.)

II. Add a Student

The Add a Student button allows you to add a new student to your class. Clicking on this button will open a window with a link you can copy and paste and send to your student to invite them to join the course. Alternatively, you can type in the student’s email address and first and last name and add them to the course manually. The student will still need to activate their account via a link sent to their email address. (Refer to Section 2 B. Add & Activate Students for detailed instructions on adding students to courses.)

III. List of Students

Below the Add a Student button, there is a list of the students in your course. You can customize how you view this page by clicking on the column categories: First Name, Last Name, Current Score (linked to Completed Assignments), and Activation Status.

Teacher Guide 17

Page 18: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

To view multiple pages or more than 10 students on the Class Profile page, scroll to the bottom. On the bottom left you can browse your student list by pages, on the bottom right you can select the number of students you would like to view at once (your options are 10, 25, 50 or 100).

For more detailed information on individual students, you can open each student’s profile by clicking on their name.

D. Student Profile

To view a comprehensive profile of an individual student, click on a course from the Courses page and choose the student whose profile you want to view by clicking on the student’s name or profile picture in your student list.

In the student’s profile, you can view basic User Information, the student’s Recent Activity (including links to the completed assignments), and the Assignment Distribution for that student represented by a pie graph.

Teacher Guide 18

Page 19: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

Below, you can view all assignments and scores for that student by activity type. You can sort each activity type by column. Each activity type may have multiple pages of information, and you can change the number of activities viewable on each page by using the buttons at the bottom of each section. 10 is the default number, but up to 100 results can be shown at once.

Teacher Guide 19

Page 20: PP Teacher Guide _PN.pages

Under the student’s profile picture, there is a button to Launch Student View. Click on this button to view the student’s actual Passport account.

You will receive a warning to advise you that any changes made to the profile will be recorded as if the student had made those changes.

Once you acknowledge this warning by clicking OK, you will be redirected to the student’s Passport page and can navigate all assignments and view all student work. (Note: Avenue tasks are only viewable by the teacher in Grade or from the Student Profile page.) To return to your teacher account, click Back to Manage at the top left of the page.
