Students who are part of an organization account through their school can log in to the Bookshare website or the reading tool of their choice with the username and password established by their teacher to access their Assigned Books and Reading Lists.
Usernames and passwords are created by the Sponsor when adding a student to the Member Roster. If a student was added without a username and password, Sponsors can easily update their information by selecting the edit link (pencil icon) next to the student’s name on the Member Roster.
Usernames can be email addresses, student ID numbers, nicknames or anything you choose. If your school uses a SSO such as Clever, Classlink, Google, etc the username should match the email associated with that platform. Passwords must be 8 characters long, contain at least one letter and one number, and are case sensitive. The username must be unique for each student.
On the Bookshare website, students find their assigned books by selecting the My Assignments link under the My Library heading. Reading Lists they have been assigned to are found under the My LIbrary heading, then selecting “My Reading Lists”. They can simply select the “Read” button to open the book in Bookshare Reader for Web.
If a student is using an app on a mobile device they will see links or tabs labeled Assigned Books and/or Reading Lists depending on the app.
