Modify All 3 Passwords

I'll start off by telling you a few things about the usernames and passwords and how they apply to this suite of three games.

You use one username to access all 3 games - Spelling Tutorial, Math Tutorial and Math Web Challenge

The Username is unique across the 3 games.

Each game can have its own password associated with it.
So you can log into each game with a different Password with the same Username:
Spelling Tutorial – Username/Password-1
Math Tutorial – Username/Password-2
Math Web Challenge – Username/Password-3

This is achieved by the use of "Modify Password" within each game. This will change the password but just for the game you are in.

You can modify the 3 passwords back into 1 password so long as you at least know one of the 3 passwords. This is achieved by using the "Modify All 3 Passwords". This is the way the game is set up by default.

I suggest you keep the passwords the same for all 3 games and always change your passwords via "Modify All 3 Passwords" which is external to any game and can be accessed from the menu on the landing page (top right hand side of the screen)

How "Modify All 3 Passwords" Works

We have been changing our passwords via the "Modify Password" within the game and now we have the following situation:

Spelling Tutorial: Username = Trial-Teacher-1-Student-1 Password = "123456"
Math Tutorial: Username = Trial-Teacher-1-Student-1 Password = "asdfgh"
Math Web Challenge: Username = Trial-Teacher-1-Student-1 Password = "zxcvbn"

We go to the utility "Modify All 3 Passwords" and we enter the Password = "123456" which corresponds to Spelling Tutorial

We press "View Passwords" and the response is

The response is as expected.

The "Unknown password" for Math Tutorial and Math Web Challenge tells us that you have an account in those tutorials. The system cannot work out the hash. It can only tell you if the hash of your password matches the one it has in the database.

Next we enter the Password = "asdfgh" which corresponds to Math Tutorial

We next enter the Password = "zxcvbn" which corresponds to Math Web Challenge

Now assume I got tired of trying to remember which password was for which tutorial. I would just use the "Modify All 3 Passwords" and set all 3 passwords the same.

You just need to know at least one of the passwords to do this.

Now I am going to set my password to "Think-Less" putting the "Old Password" as "zxcvbn" and pressing "Change Password"

I got confirmation from the system that all 3 passwords have been changed

Now we go back and check

We go back and put in our old password of "Think-Less"
It ended up matching all 3 tutorial passwords as expected.
All 3 passwords are identical.

Import A Class List

Import A Class List­

The fastest way to get started in these tutorials is to “Import A Class List” into any one tutorial (say Math Web Challenge) and then transport it to the other two tutorials (“Math Tutorial” and “Spelling Tutorial”).

The first step must be done via the “Import A Class List” but the 2^nd step of transferring it to the other tutorials can be done by either using the “Import A Class List” again or by the “Copy A Class List”

These bulk registration are done through the menus on the top right hand side of the landing page.

For this demonstration, I’ll be the “Trial Teacher 1” and I’ll import my class of 5 students to say the “Math Web Challenge” tutorial. I have given all the students the same password, “123456” – to make it easy on the memory.

I’ll leave them on the system so that you can test it and try it out with minimal effort. It’s live so don’t go changing the passwords, deleting students etc. Feel free to add students or start your own trial.

Before I can register the class I must first register myself as a teacher of class “Trial Teacher 1” at the school “Trial School”.

We navigate to the Home Page and selects "Math Web Challenge" | "Start Free Trial”". We see the following:

We press “Start as Teacher” and fill in the presented form .

The teacher’s username I enter is “Trial-Teacher-1” (The capitalization matters for logon procedure)
The common password I will use for teachers is “qwerty”

Press ”Accept and Register”

We are then presented with a form inviting us to login.
We enter the details to login (remember the password for a teacher in these demonstrations is “qwerty”)

We press “Login to Multi-Tenant Room”
On the next screen we press “Administration” button on the right hand side of the screen as the following screen is presented to us


Above you see that “Trial Teacher 1” has been assigned to “Trial School”

From here the teacher can continue by entering his class student by student with the “+Add Student” button in the Administrative section of the form. This is shown in detail in a separate part of the help menus.

At this point we grab another tab and go to the landing page and this time we press “Import a Class List” from the top right hand side of the screen.

We enter the requested information. This information comes from our registration to the trial.

So the first thing that must be done is to register for a trial which gives us our Username and Password to allow entry to the “Import a Class List”

The teacher’s username was “Trial-Teacher-1” (The capitalization matters)
The password for Trial-Teacher-1 was “qwerty”

We press “Authenticate” and we are in the import utility

We fill in the form that is presented.

We choose to import the “Trial School Teacher 1.xlsx” shown above into the “Math Web Challenge” database. We could have chosen to import it to the “Spelling Tutorial” or “Math Tutorial” as well


We press “Process File”

The form previews and validates what it is going to do and reports back to you.

Note: All Usernames have to be unique across the 3 games, namely “Spelling Tutorial”,“Math Tutorial” and “Math Web Challenge”. So if there is someone with your username already present then you have to change your username.

Once were are satisfied then we simply press “Import Students”


You can now press “Print Login Sheet” or close the window by pressing “Close”

Now go back to the teacher’s panel which we deliberately left open on the other tab and press the “Refresh Data” button

Above you see that the 5 students are now included in the teachers class.

Any student in the class can now log on to Math Web Challenge and play

Grab a tab and go to the landing page. On Math Web Challenge press the “I’m Already Subscribed” button.

On the next form select I am a “Student” and on the next form fill in your details.

We will choose “Trial Teacher 1 Student 2” and password was “123456” according to Excel sheet.

Once that is done, Press the “Connect To Teacher Room” and you will be logged in

All the remaining students in the class can now log in to Math Web Challenge

The other two Tutorials, Spelling Tutorial and Math Tutorial still do not have the Class in its database.

We can put the class in the database by running the same utility 2 more time. The 1^st time to put the class in Math Tutorial and the 2^nd time to put the class in Spelling Tutorial

To put the class in Math Tutorial, we once again go to “Import A Class List” and enter our credentials The teacher’s username was “Trial-Teacher-1” (The capitalization matters)
The password for Trial-Teacher-1 was “qwerty”

But on this occasion you choose “Subscribe Students To: Math Tutorial”

After processing the end result will be that your students are registered to “Math Tutorial”

Notes:

If a person joins the class in future you can add him to the Excel sheet and re-import the whole class.
any student already present in the database will be ignored and the new student only gets imported.

The “Import A Class List” utility is a must for the first instance of creating a class list in the databases. The names, usernames and passwords have to be entered somewhere the first time. After that you can continue using “Import A Class List” to make the database for every tutorial or you can use another utility called “Copy Class Between Tutorials”.

The utility “Copy Class Between Tutorials” is demonstrated in the next section.

Copy Class Between Tutorials

Copy Class Between Tutorials

We will start this demonstration from the point where I already have my class of 5 students established in Math Web Challenge through the Excel Spreadsheet

And if you don’t remember me, I am “Trial Teacher 1” with username “Trial-Teacher-1” password, “qwerty”.

We go to the Landing Page and press on “Copy Class Between Tutorials” in the top right hand side of the page.

We enter our (Teacher Credentials - “Trial-Teacher-1” / “qwerty” ) in the form which appears

We press “Authenticate”

We fill out the next form that appears.

The plan is to copy the class list containing 5 students from “Math Web Challenge” and put a copy of the class list in “Spelling Tutorial”

We now press “Preview Results”

We confirm that everything is ok.

There is a possibility that a username is in use by somebody else. You will have to change it to be unique.

There is a possibility that you had in the past already created a database with say 2 students in there. And you were now adding another 6 students In which case you just accept it.

In our case because it’s our first time running it, and the database is empty, everybody will be copied

We now press “Copy Class Now”

The system confirms that it has copied 5 students from the Math Web Challenge to the Spelling Tutorial

Now we will go back into the same utility and do the same operation we just did. That is copy Math Web Challenge class to Spelling Tutorial Class.

That should not do anything because the class is already present in the Spelling Tutorial.
If you had 2 extra students in your Excel spreadsheet, they will be added.

No Student will be deleted from the database. To delete a Student you have to use the delete function in the Teacher panel.

We press “Preview Student”

We press “Copy Class Now” and we get the response we were expecting. Student copied is 0

Import A Word List

Import A Word List (Spelling Tutorial)

This demonstration will go through the process involved in importing a word list for the students in the “Spelling Tutorial”

There are several ways to get a word list into the system

Create your own word list yourself via the aid of an Excel spreadsheet (best idea)

Copy off your colleagues at School and use their word lists (colleagues may get upset!!!)

Enter the words one by one (very slow process)

I’ll go through the demonstration of creating the “word list yourself”

Once again, if you don’t remember me, I am “Trial Teacher 1” with username “Trial-Teacher-1” and password, “qwerty”.

I already have a subscription to “Spelling Tutorial”

We first go to the Landing Page and press on “Import A Word List” in the top right hand side of the page.

We enter our (Teacher Credentials - “Trial-Teacher-1” / “qwerty” ) in the form which appears

Press “Authenticate & Continue”

The word list I have prepared is below.

The icons are pulled in from the set of icons that have been supplied by everyone subscribed to this platform.

You can view all these icons through the “search icons” button on the teacher’s spelling application.

Pressing the “Search Icons” button we get the following

Here you can browse and search for your icons

Now let’s go back to our primary aim of importing the word list.

We just drag the word list in. My word list above is called Word-List_Importation.xlsx

Press “Parse & Validate Files”

Note: If something is misspelt in an Icon, you do not have control of it (as in “candel.svg” if it has been uploaded by another teacher.

You have to upload your image of “candle.svg”. The image has to be unique in image file (not the name). So you got to go out and find another (different ) candle!!!!

Anyway this form provides you a summary what the utility plans to do.

The rule used here is that the combination Week, Level, Word is always and will remain unique.

That is

1,1,Dog
1,,1, Chair
1,1,Dog 🡸 Will not be imported as it is in the list (two entries above) but
1,2,Dog 🡸Will be imported as it is unique for Level 2

We again press “Confirm & Import Words”

The application has confirmed it has imported 13 words.

We’ll go back to the Teacher application and confirm the importation of the words.

We logon as a Teacher (username = “Trial-Teacher-1” password = “qwerty”) and confirm that the word list is present. This is shown above

Next we logon as Student (username = “Trial-Teacher-1-Student-1” password = “123456”) and check that the words are present.

That ends our demonstration.

We have successfully imported a word list into our Spelling Tutorial

There are two more features that will make life a little easier for teachers in dealing with spelling word lists.

The first is “Upload Icons To Shared Library” and the second is “Copy Words from Other Teachers”

Teacher Utilities For Spelling Tutorial

Teacher Utilities For Spelling Tutorial

There are two more features that will make life a little easier for teachers in acquiring and dealing with spelling word lists.

The first is “Copy Words from Other Teachers” and the second is “Upload Icons To Shared Library”

To access these utilities you must be logged on as a Teacher in the Spelling Tutorial.

Before we start here is a reminder of the Excel Sheet that I imported in using the “Import A Word List”

Copy Words from Other Teachers (in your own school)

We go to the Landing Page and Choose “Spelling Tutorial” | “I’m Already Subscribed” and from the next form that appears we choose the “Teacher” role and then Login

Go to the “Word List” tab

Press “Copy Words from Other Teachers”

In the “Source (Copy From)” field select yourself from the pull down list (if we had other teachers in your school their names will also appear).

All the words you have chosen will appear.

You can filter those words down by week and Level number

The Destination field is set to yourself (and can’t be changed at the moment)

­

I will now specify that I am going to copy all 13 words I imported in the “Import a Word List” demonstration earlier today.

I am going to make a copy in the Week 12 Level 15 for the final revision before end of term.

When we are happy with our input we press “Copy Selected Words To Destination”

You’ll notice that the destination list contains 12 words where as the source contained 13 words.

The reason is that the words came from “All Weeks” “All Level” and were condensed into Week 12 Level 15 and there was a repeat of the word.

If you look at was imported in it appears the word “dog” was in the list twice at Week 1 Level 1 and Week 1 Level 2.

The database enforces uniqueness by Week, Level and Word level.

We now press “Close”

We again navigate to the teacher spelling login panel­ (username = “Trial-Teacher-1” password = “qwerty”).

We login and select “word List” tab Filter words by Week 12 Level 15 and you’ll observe all the words are there.

Similarly we go to Spelling Tutorial and login in as a student underneath that teacher (ie “Trial-Teacher-1”)
The Student login is (username = “Trial-Teacher-1-Student-1” password = “123456”).

Select from the menu that you wish to do Week 12 Level 15 and “Start Spelling Practice” and you will see that the 12 words are there.

Upload Icons To Shared Library

The second useful utility available to the teacher is the ability to put his own icon to use (the Icons will be available to all subscribers once the icons are on the web). All icons are unique

The button is on the left hand side of “Copy Words from Other Teachers”.

Pressing the button yields:

I now drag my Icons from my directory on my PC to this panel.

As you can see, out of the 9 icons I dragged up there only 6 of them met the requirement of being less the 12KB (let me know if you need that to increase)

We press “Upload Icons” to transport the Icons to the web where everyone will have access to them. (be sure that you are using royalty free icons as icons are copyright objects)

You get a confirmation, but it doesn’t last long on the screen.

So we go back to the teacher’s panel.

Click “Search Icons” again.

On the form which appears press “Refresh Icons”

Press “Browse Mode” so you can see the Icons by Directory.

We have 2 directories

global – Directory that keeps track of the icons the Administrator has put in

teacher_shared – Directory which keeps track of all icons put in by teachers.

Since the icons were put in by a teacher (Trial Teacher 1) it will be in the teacher_shared directory

This is the end of the demonstration.

It will probably not contain any words and therefore we have to go to the Teacher's panel to be able to put words in there.

Teacher Panel

We go to the Educational Software Suite Landing Page, https://edu-soft.com.au/

We press "Spelling Tutorial" | "I'm Already Subscribed".

We select "Teacher".

We get the Teacher Login Panel and we fill out the fields. Again they are all pull down fields. So the only thing you have to remember is your password.

You then press "Login To Dashboard" and your Teacher Panel is there.

Well, we need some words to put in our lists. You can enter them one by one or go the easiest way and just borrow them from other teachers. The word lists then become your own. The other teachers' word list are still their own. So they won't be too upset!!

We select the words we like, and specify the Week and Level to put them in our word list.

We press on "Copy Words from Other Teachers".

We have now selected the words which we want to have in our list. Here we just selected 9 words from "Home Teacher" into our week 1 Level 1 schedule.

We then press the "Copy Selected Words To Destination".

We exit the "Copy Word Lists Between Teachers" and return back Teachers Panel.

To see the words we have added to the Teacher panel we must refresh the page (Ctrl F5) or just add another word manually or logout and log back in.

All the menus are pull down menus except for the password. So they are easy to remember.

You fill in all the fields and press "Connect to Teacher Room".

You are then presented with your "Client". A piece a software which is a way of interacting with others playing this game.

At this stage you must log on as the teacher in charge of this web Challenge and specify those you want to compete against and grant the access to the game.

Click on the next tab in your browser.

Go to the Educational Software Suite Landing Page, https://edu-soft.com.au/

Press "Math Web Challenge" | "I'm Already Subscribed".

The next form appears and you select "Teacher".

A Teacher (Server) login in screen appears.

You enter your credentials (Remember you were just given all your credentials just above).

Press "Login to Multi-Tenant Room".

You will get what's displayed above. Click on "Connected (Room 18)" and it will toggle between show/hide connected users ie Users in your game.

This is the panel from which you initiate the challenge.

The only thing that still remains is for you to add your friends to the challenge.

Click on the "Administration" button on the top right hand side of this panel (server panel).

Here you can find your credentials. Our credentials are in the shown above under Home School, Home Teacher – Gilbert B and the student Gilbert B.

Now we are going to add some buddies for him.

We will add 2 students:

• Student Name: Friend One
  Username: friend1
• Student Name: Friend Two
  Username: friend2

Go to the "Administrative Actions" and click on "+Add Student" and add "Friend One".

Select "Create Student".

Again go to the "Administrative Actions" and click on "+Add Student" and add "Friend Two".

Now your profile should look like this.

So with the above setup all 3 players can compete in the Web Challenge.

Now you can click on "Back to Server" just above the "Administrative Actions" so that you are ready to get the Challenge going.

All we need is for the 2 friends to join the Challenge.

Now for your friends to log on to the Web Challenge. They do the following:

Go to the Educational Software Suite Landing Page, https://edu-soft.com.au/

Press "Math Web Challenge" | "I'm Already Subscribed".

From the next form, they choose the "Student" option.

They will be prompted for their credentials (which you gave them) and the School Name (Home School) and Class Name (Home Teacher - Gilbert B) which the system gave them. The menus are all pull down menus except for the password field. Your profile should be relatively easy to find if you get somehow lost.

With your 2 friends and yourself logged in you should have 4 players (1 player is the host+ the 3 people) logged in.

Your Clients should look like the figure below. The people logged in are mentioned on the left hand side bar.

The Server should look the figure below. Again the list of Clients logged is shown.

Now that all the friends have joined the Web Challenge all that remains is to actually start the server.

The Teacher (server) sets up the server operation from the many available options and he hits the "Start Math Challenge".

The server dishes out the questions, the players answer them, the host tallies the result in real time.

At game completion the host announces the results to everyone that participated.

The Server (Teacher) at game completion.

The Client (Student) at game completion.

Math Web Challenge - Automated

You don't need a special subscription to Math Web Challenge – Automated Server. As long as you have a subscription to the Math Web Challenge – Manual, you are ready to just log on.

Should the server encounter any problems, it is programmed to restart. Therefore you are always guaranteed of having the server online.

Joining the Automated Server

I already have a subscription to Math Web Challenge – Manual:

• Username: junior
• Password: junior

We go to the Home Page and selects "Math Web Challenge" | "I'm Already Subscribed".

From the next menu we choose "Automatic Server".

We enter our credentials and press "Join Server".

A challenge round is typically Break (20 sec) → Countdown (15 sec) → Game (240 sec) → Repeat.

The Client software is exactly the same one used in Math Challenge Manual.

The control centre for the Automated Server looks like this.
