Sharing an account

 QUESTION

I have a co-teacher this year and would like to share through my account so that we both see the data from our students.

Is this available and I am just not seeing it?


ANSWER

The "Share" item in your menu allows you to share exams with other teacher accounts, but it doesn't share anything about your students or their grades.

We would recommend changing the email address on your account to a shared email address, for example something like some-shared-account@gmail.com and sharing this account with your co-teacher. You can change the email address for your account under "Account info" in the menu.

If both you and your co-teacher know the email address and password, you'll both be able to access the account. Either one of you could later change the account email address back to a personal account if, in the future, the account no longer needed to be shared.

Another option is to add your own teacher account info to the co-teacher's mobile phone or tablet using the ThatQuiz mobile app. Once enrolled, your password is not visible to the co-teacher, but all of your ThatQuiz account info (classes, exams, students) are permanently accessible and controllable (create, delete, etc) from the co-teacher's device. Remember that once a teacher account is added to a device, however, that account remains on the device as long as the device owner wants it there. So, even if your co-teacher were no longer your co-teacher next year, he or she would still have complete access.
