September product notes
We’re in the swing of Back to School and have added some new product features to help districts and applications this fall:
District login contests
For Clever portal users, we’ve introduced a fun way to help students learn how to log into their applications this school year.
Here’s how districts can set it up:
- Authorize Clever’s Login Contest App: Students will log into this app to compete with other schools in the district.
- Determine contest period: We recommend running the contest until the end of September.
- Choose your prize: Ice cream, pizza parties or school supplies all work well!
- Let teachers know: Use our email template to tell teachers about the contest. You can also customize and print these flyers for the classroom.
Welcome screen for first-time logins
The first time a student or teacher logs into their Clever portal, they’ll now see a welcome screen explaining what Clever is and how we help school districts like theirs. The welcome screen will only appear once per user.
Here’s what a teacher will see the first time they log in:
Viewing apps for specific users
Districts can now see which applications users are scoped to within the student tab of the Data Browser in their Clever dashboard.
