How to Manually Create Multiple Student Accounts (using a CSV file)
Instead of creating a username and password for each student, you can enter their first and last names to create a key code they can use to log in. Key codes are made up of two letters and four numbers.
The two letters will typically be their initials or the first two letters of their first name.
When students log on to Ellii, they will only need to type in their Key code and last name. This makes it easier for them since there is no need to remember a username or password.
You can also upload a CSV file and have the site create accounts for your students using usernames and passwords. Follow the steps below to learn how!
