eBook Admin: Tips for 'Faculty Enrollment PINs' Page
From the 'Faculty Enrollment Pins' Page, the eBook Admin can:
- Create a Faculty Enrollment PIN
- Manage current and expired Faculty Enrollment Pins
- Disable and Enable a PIN
Using a PIN to assign a teacher a license is BEST in these cases:
- At the beginning of the school year after teachers have been assigned their teaching schedules.
- When there are numerous teachers and manually assigning would be a lot of work.
- When there are new teachers or teachers at workshops who are not associated with the district.
- Teachers should NEVER leave the PIN in plain sight. It is a potential security risk allowing anyone with the PIN to access a teacher edition. Best practices are to:
- Periodically check the names of teachers with teacher eBook licenses under the License Report menu.
- Disable the PIN after all teachers have accessed their eBooks.
- NOTE: A PIN is only valid for one week. Once a teacher receives the eBook, it will be in their name until it is removed! You can either create another PIN after the week or manually assign teacher eBooks.
- If teachers select more eBooks than available licenses, you may need to:
- Go to: Reports --> License Report
- Select the eBook title.
- Scroll down to view a list of teachers with that license and remove it from teachers who are not actually teaching the course this year.
- If you do NOT want a teacher to assign student licenses:
- Go to: Manage License Providers
- Select Set License Restrictions in the blue bar near the top of the page.
- Select the teacher.
- Deselect any licenses you do not want them to assign to students.
- Teachers will not lose their notes from previous years even if the eBook license is assigned to someone else because the notes are tied to a login and NOT to a license!
