Guidance for Teachers - registration and creating student accounts
Registering as a new school
If your school is not available in the list you should register here:
http://discoverybox.e2bn.org/creator/register/ (if you already have an account for Myths and Legends Story Creator you do not need to register again, you can use the same details)
Once that is done (your details will be checked by an E2BN administrator, this may involve phoning your school, please allow 5 days for this process to complete) and you have received your password your students can then either register through the DiscoveryBox application or you can create student user accounts yourself in the admin area. Students only need to register or be registered once and can use their student user accounts at home or at school to load and save work within the DiscoveryBox application. MAKE SURE YOU DONT GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO STUDENTS, it allows YOU teacher access to moderate and approve their work)
To create student user accounts yourself:
Creating individual student user accounts:
To create student user accounts go here http://discoverybox.e2bn.org/creator/admin/login and use your username and password to login. Click "Manage Users" then "Add New User", complete the simple form. You can create one account per student (this is helpful if you know to whom the account belongs so you can identify the user when moderating their work) or one account for a group or class, whichever you prefer. The account details can then be given to the student(s) and used when asked for a Log in within the DiscoveryBox application (http://discoverybox.e2bn.org/creator).
Bulk uploading student user accounts:
You can also upload an Excel Spreadsheet, create a new spreadsheet with "login name" in column A (e.g. student1) and "password" (e.g. student1password) in column B.
Getting students to create their own user accounts:
If you want your students to register their own accounts get them to load DiscoveryBox Creator http://discoverybox.e2bn.org/creator/ and click "Messages" (or anything that gets a login prompt) then "Join for Free" if they select your school from the list on the right when they are entering their details YOU will be able to moderate their work when they finish and submit it within the application.
NOTE:: If students do not select the correct school when they register then E2BN will moderate their work, this can take up to 3 weeks. If a student makes a mistake and registers for the wrong school get them to re-register.
Moderating student work
To moderate the work of a student you must first login to the admin area (same link as above: http://discoverybox.e2bn.org/creator/admin/login). If there are boxes created and submitted by your students (using the "Submit" function in the DiscoveryBox application) available for review then they will be shown in the "Your pending Boxes" section on the left.
Click "View" in the row of the box that you wish to review and having reviewed all of the content within the box choose either:
Approve
If you approve a box it will go live on the DiscoveryBox website within your school or organisation's area. The author of the box will be also able to reload the box in the box creator. You may send a message to the user who created it if you choose this option.
Reject
If you reject a box it will be returned to the author, alongside any message you choose to enter. The author will be able to load the box and make changes, or do any further work on it.
Edit
If you choose to edit the box you can make amendments to the text and the audio attachments if necessary.
Delete
The box will be permanently deleted, the user will not be able to load the box
Please remember that any work you approve goes live onto the website here
http://discoverybox.e2bn.org/gallery/ so it is important to ensure it is suitable for publication.
