Step 1 - Creating an account
Go to www.albert.io. Click Sign Up in the top-right corner.
Select I’m a teacher.
Fill in the requested information. [Pro-tip]: If you have a Google account, you can use Google sign-in and skip the need to confirm your account.
Click Sign-up.
A confirmation email will be sent to you. Use the link in the email to confirm your account, then follow the on-screen prompts to activate your account.
Step 2 - Creating a class
Log into your Albert account and click the Classes tab at the top of your page.
Click New Class in the top right corner.
Create a name for your class, and ensure you are aligned with the correct tutoring company. If you do not see your company, please email hello@albert.io with the company’s name and address.
Click Create Class.
Your class is now created, and you can start inviting students to join your class. Your class will appear on your Classes tab under Active.
Creating a class is the key to getting started on Albert. Classes allow you to grant students access to your license, assign work, and access data reports.
Helpful Tips:
Create different Albert classes for either each student you tutor or each subject your students study.
Tutoring singular students across various subjects? We suggest you create a single class for each student that includes all of the subjects they are studying. This way, you only give them access to the subjects they need, and you can see all of their data in one place.
Tutoring multiple students in one subject? We suggest you create one classroom for all of your students.
Step 3 - Inviting or enrolling students
In the Classes tab, click the Invite Students button for the desired class.
On Albert, there are four ways to enroll your students:
Class enrollment code
Email invitations
Import Google Classroom
LTI Rostering
Note: We recommend using Options 1 or 2 for tutors.
Option 1 - Class enrollment code
Option 1 - Class enrollment code
You can view your unique class enrollment code by selecting Display class code on your Classes tab. Next, you'll need to provide your students with the unique class code so they can enroll in your class.
Instruct students to complete the following steps:
Create an account if they don't already have one. If they have an account, they should log in at Albert.io.
Direct students to click on the Classes tab at the top of the page, click Join a Class, and enter the code you provided.
Once they've successfully joined your class, they will see a green box that says "Success!". You can confirm that the student has successfully joined your classroom by viewing the Enrolled students on your People tab.
You can regenerate a classroom code by clicking on the information icon, as seen in the image below. Regenerating codes prevents students from sharing codes with other students and gaining access to your class.
Note: If you click the button Generate A New Code, only the newly generated code will work for students not yet enrolled. Any student already enrolled will remain in your classroom.
Option 2 - Email invitations
