How To Create Generic Students in My Course – InteDashboard

This walkthrough will help you create generic usernames for your students.

Pros: Requires no storage of personal student data on the InteDashboard cloud servers. This makes it easier to get through your institutions compliance processes. It's also useful in one time workshops where you have limited information about students and need to quickly set up teams for your activities.

Cons: You won’t be able to easily maintain records of performance data regarding your students on InteDashboard. This is because instead of seeing your students name, you will see generic user accounts which can lead to organizational issues.

Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1:

Click on the course name you want to add your students in.

Step 2:

Click on the "STUDENTS" tab inside the course

Step 3:

Click on the "+ New Students" button

Step 4:

Click on the "Generic Users" and "Next Step" button.

Step 5:

Fill out the details.

Prefix (ensure this is unique)
Number of Section
Number of Teams
Number of students per team

Click on the "Next Step" button.

ⓘ Some useful information

PREFIX: Think of this as a unique code that will be attached to every generic username generated by the app. This code could be customized according to your preferences.
NO. OF SECTIONS: This signifies the amount of sessions that you will conduct with the students that are being added.
NO. OF TEAMS: This indicates the number of teams that you wish to create for your course.
NO.OF STUDENTS PER TEAM: This indicates the amount of students that you wish to have in each team created for your course.

Step 6:

Click "Confirm" button.

Step 7:

Once confirmed, you'll see your students grouped in the specified section and teams.

ⓘ Here are some useful information

Students can use the generic user login to access the student dashboard. The username and password are the same. For example, a student is assigned the "Student-1-1s1" login. The student will use "Student-1-1s1" as the username and password.
There is no need to send invites.
