Giving Students Access to Premium Subjects
Students gain access to Albert's premium question banks by joining classes owned by licensed teachers with work assigned either through assignments or Independent Practice. The class must belong to an approved teacher at a school with an active license.*
Example:
A licensed teacher creates a licensed class. The teacher then assigns questions from Algebra 1. All students who join that class will have access to the assigned questions.
If the same teacher wants their students to also access SAT® or ACT® Math questions, the teacher will need to either create an assignment or open the subject for Independent Practice. The students enrolled in that class will then gain access to the additional subjects.
The teacher can also share adaptive skills with students from any of our Adaptive Subjects.
If a teacher's class is set to unlicensed, licensed content cannot be assigned to that class. The teacher can still use Adaptive Subjects and share adaptive skills with students in that class.
An Albert school license gives schools and teachers access to all subjects on Albert. However, in order to prevent cheating, students can only access questions in a subject once a teacher gives them access.
Giving Students Access to Adaptive Subjects
Teachers can give students access to free Adaptive Subjects by creating an unlicensed class. Both licensed and unlicensed teachers can create unlicensed classes, making Adaptive Subjects available to any student — including those who are not covered by the school's license.
Students in unlicensed classes can access and practice adaptive skills shared by their teacher, but they will not have access to licensed question banks or premium content.
Impact on License Usage
A school's seat count is calculated based on the number of unique students enrolled in classes created by approved licensed teachers at the school, regardless of how many subjects each student uses or the number of classes they are enrolled in. A student counts as one seat no matter how many classes they join or how many subjects they use.
Students in unlicensed classes do not count toward license usage. This includes classes created by unapproved or rejected teachers, and classes that an approved teacher has set as unlicensed. Teachers can still use Adaptive Subjects and share adaptive skills with students in unlicensed classes, and those students will not occupy seats.
