How to use (teacher)

Introduction

Once your school has registered its learning management system with CodeChum, you stop keeping two separate sign-ins. You can open CodeChum straight from your Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle account, and the classes, students and grades you already keep in the LMS line up with the ones in CodeChum.

The first thing to get right is the sign-in itself, because everything else on this page assumes CodeChum knows which LMS account is yours. Signing in through your school's LMS is where it starts.

Steps

Note: Your school's administrator has to finish setting up the LMS with CodeChum first. Until that is done, your school does not appear in the school list and the sign-in cannot go through.

To sign in to CodeChum through your school's LMS, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to the CodeChum login page. Above the sign-in form, under Sign in with, click the button for the LMS your school uses. The buttons carry only each platform's logo, so hover one to see its name: Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle.
  1. Open Select a school, choose your school, then click Next. Only schools that have finished setting up their LMS are listed. Click Cancel to go back to the username and password form.
  1. If your school uses Canvas or Blackboard, sign in on the LMS page that opens and allow CodeChum to use your account. CodeChum then reads the answer, shows Authorization successful. Redirecting... and takes you into the app.
  2. If your school uses Moodle, fill in your Moodle Username and Password on the Sign in to Moodle page, then click Sign in. CodeChum asks for them on its own page rather than sending you to your school's site.
  1. If the page turns into Create new account?, no CodeChum account is paired with that Moodle login yet. Click Continue to sign up for one using your Moodle name and email.
  1. Finally, wait for the page to hand you over. CodeChum opens your classes, and from now on you can sign in the same way every time.

Note: If the sign-in stops on Account does not exist., the LMS account you used has never been paired with a CodeChum account. Use the button back to the login page, sign in with your CodeChum username and password, and link the two from Connect to LMS. Turning CodeChum down inside the LMS stops the sign-in on Access denied, and a Moodle username that already belongs to another CodeChum account opens Uh oh, which asks you to contact CodeChum via Messenger.

Note: If your school has its own CodeChum address, there is no school to pick. The LMS opens as soon as you click its button.
