After creating assignments for your students in Legends of Learning, the next crucial step is ensuring they can easily join and access these assignments. Legends of Learning offers several convenient methods for students to join your assigned activities, primarily through a direct link, a teacher code, or Google Classroom integration. Below are detailed instructions for each method to streamline student access and engagement with Legends of Learning.
Joining Legends of Learning Assignments with a Direct Link
The direct link method provides a straightforward way for students to access assignments. Once you’ve finalized your assignment setup, select the Use a Link option in the confirmation window.
A unique assignment link will be generated. Click the Copy button to copy this link. You can then share this link with your students through email, your class website, or any other communication platform you use. After sharing the link, click Done to close the window.
Direct assignment links are also accessible from your assignments page within Legends of Learning. For detailed steps on retrieving the link from your assignment list, you can refer to this guide on student join links.
When students click on the direct link, they will be automatically directed to the Legends of Learning website where they will be prompted to either Sign Up or Log In to their existing account to access the assignment.
Upon successful login, students will be immediately taken to the assigned activity, ready to start learning and playing.
Note: For students using Legends of Learning for the first time, they will have a brief three-minute period to personalize their student avatar before beginning the assignment.
Troubleshooting Tip: If students encounter an ‘Oops’ message when using a direct link, ensure that the student is correctly enrolled in the class group to which the assignment is assigned within Legends of Learning.
Joining Legends of Learning Assignments with a Teacher Code
Another method for students to join your Legends of Learning assignments is by using a Teacher Code. This code is readily available at the top right corner of your Legends of Learning teacher account dashboard. Remember, the teacher code is not case-sensitive for student entry.
To use the Teacher Code, instruct your students to visit the Legends of Learning login page: https://login.legendsoflearning.com. On this page, they should click the STUDENT button to proceed.
For students who are new to Legends of Learning, they will need to sign up. Direct them to click the orange ‘Sign Up’ button to begin the registration process.
Legends of Learning offers students the flexibility to sign up using their Google account for a quicker process or by creating a unique username and password directly on the platform. You can find more information about Google account sign-up in this article.
For students who already have a Legends of Learning account, they can simply log in using their existing credentials. They can choose to log in with their Google account or enter their Legends of Learning username and password.
After logging in, students who have previously joined your classes will see your name displayed on the screen. They need to click on your name to view the assignments you have set.
If it’s a student’s first time joining your class, they will be prompted to enter your Teacher Code. They should type in the code and click the plus sign to add your class. Once added, your Teacher Code will be saved for future logins, simplifying access to your assignments.
Once in your class section, students can begin their assigned activities by clicking START. If multiple assignments are available, ensure students know which assignment to select. For returning to previously started assignments, they should click CONTINUE.
Joining Legends of Learning Assignments Via Google Classroom
For teachers utilizing Google Classroom and having integrated their Google Classroom roster with Legends of Learning, and assigned activities through Google Classroom, student access is incredibly streamlined.
Students can join directly from Google Classroom by simply clicking on the assignment link provided within the Google Classroom assignment.
Clicking this link will redirect students to Legends of Learning. They then log in using the Google Sign-In button, which will automatically take them directly to the assigned Legends of Learning activity.
Note: Similar to other methods, first-time users will have a three-minute window to customize their avatar when joining via Google Classroom.
Important Note: Integrations with Classlink, Schoology, Canvas, GG4L, and Clever are available exclusively with Legends of Learning school and district-level licenses. Contact us to learn more about these advanced integration options.
By utilizing these methods, educators can ensure students smoothly access and engage with educational content on legends of learning.com, enhancing the learning experience and maximizing classroom integration.
