Resetting Student Password For Schools

2. Click on your school name. Then click People.
3. For the specific student, use the Search People box. Click on the student's Name. Click the Reset Student Password button.
4. Enter the new password twice. Passwords must be at least eight alphanumeric characters. Click OK.

How to Access Videos and Course Materials

Why do the course videos appear to be choppy or buffering and not playing smoothly?
Our videos are automatically set to play at the highest speed/resolution possible. If your internet connection is slower, the videos may be outpacing your download speed. To manually adjust, hover your mouse over the gear/wheel logo in the lower right corner of the video display, until the icons appear. Click the "multiple bars" icon and select a lower resolution level (720p, 406p or 270p). This reduces the size of the video file to better match slower connection speed.
