In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up a class, onboarding your students with courses, providing students with their account info, and tracking and monitoring student progress.
As soon as we process your pilot or license, you’ll receive an email prompting you to set your Learning Upgrade account password. If you did not receive this email, check your spam folder and visit our password reset page.
Once you have your password set, you can login to start setting up your class.
As soon as you login to your new teacher account, you’ll be prompted to create a class. A class name is required, and the class image is optional.
You can add additional classes at another time. For now, click on your primary class to begin adding students.
To add students to your new class, click on the blue ‘+Add Student’ button and launch the student uploader.
Select ‘+Add a New Student’
After you click the ‘+Add a New Student’ option, you’ll be prompted to choose between Invite Students (student self enrollment), Upload Student Information (teacher uploads a class roster from spreadsheet), or Create New Student Account (type student information one at a time).
Invite Students:
If you would like to have students self enroll into Learning Upgrade and create their own accounts, you can invite your students with a class guide. First click the ‘Generate Code’ button, and then click the ‘Download Class Guide’ link.
Upload Student Information:
If you would like to upload students from a spreadsheet, you can download our template and then upload the file. After uploading the file, we will display your uploaded student accounts. You can add courses, select students, and edit fields using the pencil button. Click the ‘Submit’ button when you’re ready to upload students,
Create a New Student Account:
If you would like to create a new student manually, you can click the ‘Create a New Student Account’ and fill out all fields in the form. After submitting the form, you will receive a sign-in sheet for the student.
Once you’ve created you student accounts, you’ll want to make sure your students can login. Students that self enroll using an invite code will already have their login credentials. If you uploaded a spreadsheet or entered a student manually, you’ll need to print out their login credentials.
To get started, click the box next to a students name, or the box at the top of the column to select all. Then in the ‘Perform Action’ button menu, click ‘Show/Print Class Passwords’.
Now that your students are logging in and completing lessons, you can track their individual progress. In your student list, you’ll see that each student has report buttons for student monitor and an activity log. You can also click on the three dot menu to view the student report card.
You can also click a student’s name in your list of class students. You will now see a student details screen with all of the student’s courses courses and progress.
To assign lessons or ‘unlock’ a course, click on the pencil button next to a course in Student Details. You will see a lesson menu pop up that will allow you to move your student ahead to any lesson.

The first thing you notice is a handy dashboard that lets you track your students progress over time. This dashboard with show progress over the last month, but you can zoom in using the slider bar above the graph.
