Within Extempore, there are a few different ways student accounts are created. This primarily depends on whether the district is using Extempore with an LMS/SIS, Google Classroom integration, or if they are not using an integration with Extempore.
| Account Creation Type | Explanation |
Google Classroom | Automatic | Instructors syncs Google Classroom with Extempore, creates assignment, and students are considered enrolled in Extempore after connecting to the first assessment from Google Classroom. |
LMS/SIS Integration | Automatic | Student accounts provisioned after Extempore is synchronized with your LMS. This step is handled by District Admins and the Extempore Team. |
Non-Integrated Account | Manual | Instructors share the enrollment URL with students where students will create a new account via username and password or with Google SSO. |
Creating Student Accounts for Google Classroom Integrations
Student accounts will be provisioned automatically after the following steps are taken by the instructor.
Synchronize Google Classroom and Extempore
Students will show as "pending" on the Extempore roster until step #4 below.
Create or Import the first individual assessment within Extempore
The assessment will automatically synchronize to Google Classroom once created.
As soon as students connect to the first individual assessment they will move from "pending" to "active" within the Extempore roster.
Creating Student Accounts for LMS/SIS Integrations
Different than Google Classroom where each instructor is responsible for synchronizing their own classes, for LMS and SIS integrations all student accounts are created automatically. This step is handled by your district admin and the Extempore team. There are no steps for instructors other than logging in to their own account.
Newly rostered students within the LMS or SIS will automatically synchronize to Extempore every 24 hours at midnight.
Manual Account Creation/Enrollment
Before creating an account, please note the following:
The only way to manually create a student account is from the class enrollment link shared by an Extempore instructor.
Students who log in via Google Classroom or another LMS will automatically have an Extempore account created upon accessing an assessment on Extempore.
Create a student account on Extempore
Watch the video below to see how to create a student account, or scroll down and follow the written directions.
Step 1: When you click on the enrollment link provided by your instructor, you will be redirected to the class welcome page, where you will create a new Extempore account or add the class to an existing Extempore account (if you have a student account from a previous class).
Step 2. When you create a new account, you have two options as seen below. You can enroll via single sign-on with either a Google or Apple ID, or you can create an account manually by entering your name and email and creating a password.
Once complete, you'll see a confirmation screen and will receive an email with this information.
