Adding pupils to a course

Open the Tasks and courses tab. Click on the cover of the course book you created and go to its Settings tab.

  1. Activate the pupils’ licenses. Click the Configure adding license button, select the right license and finally click Activate adding a license.

This method is highly recommended especially if you use MPASS identification, have a large number of pupils and/or several groups. Click on the green Activate joining with code button and copy the code into the Student instructions below sent or shown to the group. 

If you don’t use MPASS, students also need a school code when finalizing their accounts. The teacher can find the school code on Opiq by clicking on his or her name in the top right-hand corner and clicking School settings.    

Please note that students can register by using MPASS or e-mail, but not with both.

Adding pupils manually with Add or edit pupils (3.)

This is another way to add pupils to your course. On the Settings page for a course, click on the Add or edit pupils button. Fill in the pupil’s details and click Add pupils. An invitation to the platform is sent automatically to the new pupil’s email.

If you add pupils to the course manually, you do not need to give the template/example message and codes. The invitation contains a link to register by creating an Opiq account. After completing the registration, the pupil will be automatically added to the correct school and course. Later the student log in to the platform at https://e-oppi.opiq.fi/Account/Login using the Opiq button.

Pupils have to use Opiq button when logging in, but they can connect MPASS or Google authentication to their Opiq accounts later: Click the name in the top right-hand corner – Settings – Connections with external user accounts.

No automatic invitation will be sent to previous users of Opiq, but the course will appear on their Opiq homepage. The teacher can send invitation again if needed (expires after 7 days). You can find the Resend invitation button on the Settings page for a course when you first click Add or edit pupils.  

Archive or hide the course

The teacher can archive the course, in which case it will also be removed from the front page of both other teachers and students of the course. Once the course is archived, it cannot be used in teaching. After this, the course can be found in the archive view, which can be accessed from the More options link in the Courses module on the front page. However, the course can be restored from the archive for teaching use in its settings view. The teacher can also just hide the course from his own home page. This does not affect the front page view of other teachers or students of the course.

Functions in digital books

All functions within the book are visible to both the teacher and the pupil. If the teacher adds their own material to the book using the Add own content function, this addition will also appear in the pupil’s book.

The colour highlights and comments made to the text are specific to the user account, i.e. they are visible only to the user who made them. All editing functions are also book-specific, which means that they also appear in courses created later.

The artificial intelligence-assisted More like this feature can be used to find content on the same topic in our different textbooks. By using this function, the users have access to our whole library of textbooks from different subjects via links.

The digital book can be navigated with Opiq’s own buttons in addition to the browser’s back button. The Navigation buttons in the upper right corner show a list of both the chapter and its tasks, as well as a shortcut button, e.g., to move from the chapter to the tasks and vice versa. Use the arrow keys to move between chapters. The left-pointing arrow in the upper left corner always takes you to a higher level in the hierarchy.

Exercise kit

Pupils do not automatically see exercises which are in the book’s exercise kit. The teacher can easily share exercises to pupils or assign a separate set of tasks. There are also some exercises inside study kits and those are visible to pupils too.

Use the Assign task tool for exercises you want to review, comment, and/or rate and resubmit as an assignment for correction. Exercises you have created yourself must also be shared with this tool. You can assign tasks to all or only some pupils. These assigned tasks will be also notified on the student’s home page. The pupil can do, save and then submit all tasks in the set at the same time. The teacher can give evaluation with buttons, make comments and then publish results to pupils with the Disclose score button or send them back for reassignment. Please note that the evaluation method can be changed, and the percentage score is only the default setting.

TIP: You can also compile sets of tasks from exercises found in different chapters.

(With the Share with pupils tool, you can quickly publish all exercises for the pupils to see and solve. The pupil can find these exercises in the table of contents view by chapter from the number button indicating their number. The pupil can do, save and submit exercises one by one, but cannot edit answers after sending them to the teacher. However, the teacher can only see a summary of the answers (both for individual pupils and the whole group) but cannot view the pupils’ individual answers. Pupils will see the correct answers to the automatically corrected tasks when they have submitted their answers to the teacher.)

Teacher’s view

Pupil’s view

The student can see all the tasks within a chapter and can complete them as many times as they like. The correct answers are displayed after two attempts. In German course books, exercises can be found in the Übungen chapters.

Exercises shared by the teacher are found via the book’s table of contents view (1). The numbers next to the title of each chapter serve as links to these shared exercises. The exercises can be completed one by one and submitted to the teacher, but submitted answers cannot be corrected afterwards. After submitting the exercises, the student will see the correct answers for the automatically checked exercises.

Assigned exercises that the teacher considers important can be found on the Tasks tab (2), and will also provide shortcuts to the student’s home page. The exercises assigned as a task should be completed one by one, and finally submitted to the teacher for assessment. The submitted task can be requested to be sent back for revision. The teacher can also re-assign the task to the student.

Using the license after leaving school

It is possible to use the 60-month license even after finishing high school. Before the end of school, the student must change his username from the school e-mail to his own personal e-mail.

Change a username by clicking on your name in the upper right corner → Settings → Change username. Your personal e-mail address must be added to the field and then click Send confirmation to e-mail address. The change will then be finalised using the link in the email. If the course is not visible on the homepage, it can be found in the archive: Click the Archive button on the homepage. The courses can also be accessed through the library, if the license is valid.

FAQ

Below, we have compiled answers to some questions that we get the most often.

How can I see the number of licenses ordered or available for the school?

A: When you create a course and activate its license, you as a teacher will see the number of remaining licenses for the book in question. In the role of a school administrator, you can see all the licenses ordered for the school, manage user accounts, as well as add and remove licenses. The role of school administrator can be granted to anyone that works at the school. You can get one by sending us an email.

The pupil has been added to the course, but the chapters of the book do not open / a red triangle appears after the pupil’s name in the list of pupils.

A: Check the course settings and make sure that the license is activated. If there is a text that reads ”Adding licenses is not activated”, you have to click the “Configure adding licenses” button and follow the steps you see on the platform. If the activation has already been done, the error is not in the activation.

The licenses may also have run out because not enough licenses have been ordered for your school. Sometimes, licenses can run out because pupils have several accounts for which the license has been unnecessarily activated. If you suspect this might be the case, please contact us or ask someone in your school with the school admin role in Opiq to check and remove the unnecessarily activated licenses. Please note that removing the so-called “wrong accounts” from your course does not remove the licenses already activated for these accounts.

The invitation sent to the pupil is out of date, how do I proceed?

A: If you invite a new user to your course by adding them to the pupil list, Opiq automatically sends the invitation to the user’s email. The invitation is valid for 7 days. You can send the invitation again by clicking the “Add or edit pupils” button in the course settings view and checking the checkbox next to the pupil’s name → “Send invitation again”. The pupil can also resend the invitation to their email from the “Forgot your password?” page: https://e-oppi.opiq.fi/Account/RecoverLostPassword.

How can I see what the pupil’s username is?

A: Open the course settings and click the “Add or edit pupils” button. You will now see a list of pupils. If the pupil’s username does not have an email address, they have an MPASS account. If the user ID is an email address, the pupil has an Opiq or Google account. As a teacher, you cannot see the difference between these two, but the school admin can see this by searching for the pupil in the “Users” tab. The school admin can also see the user account’s connections to other login methods.

How can I see previous years’ courses?

A: Click the “More options” button on the home page. In the view that opens, you can find the “Archive” tab, where all courses from the previous year are archived between July and August. The pupils can see the “Archive” button on their front page.

How can I connect my MPASS/Google/Facebook account to an Opiq account that I have created via email?

A: Click on your own name (upper right corner) → “My settings” → “Connections with external user accounts”. Choose a login method and proceed according to the instructions.

I have a supply or relief teacher, what should I do?

A: You can add the new teacher to your course via the “Edit teachers” button on the course’s “Settings” page. In this case, the new user is automatically invited to the platform. A teacher’s license for the new teacher should always be requested from us via e-mail (info@e-oppi.fi).

The pupil’s book or course has ”disappeared” from their front page.

A: The most likely reason for this is that the pupil has multiple user accounts. You can check this on the course’s “Settings” page when you click the “Add or edit pupils” button. Ask the pupil to log in with the account that is visible in the course. Note that MPASS accounts do not have an email address at all.

The assigned task is not visible to the pupil, even though it has been given to the whole group?

A: The pupil has probably joined the course later than when the assignment was given. You can add a task to them by opening the assigned task from its name and clicking the “Add pupils” button.

How do I create and assign my own tasks?

A: Open the exercise kit of the chapter you have chosen, either by clicking on the exercise icon on the top right of the chapter view or the number next to the chapter title on the course page. On the left side of the exercise kit, you can see a section titled “My exercises”. Click the ”Create exercise” button. Write a title, description for your task and, if you wish, enable pupils to input text as their answer. Please note that students can upload attachments to all exercises. The assignment can be given to students using the “Assign task” function or saved for later use. You can find saved tasks, assigned tasks and the answers submitted by the pupils in the course’s “Task” view. You can read more about the task tool in our instructions.

Where can I see pupil-specific results?

A: On the Opiq platform, you can examine and filter pupil-specific results in two different views. The first view can be accessed from the “Statistics” box in the course’s “Study kit” view. Here, you can select the pupil’’s name to examine their progress throughout the book in terms of exercise and task completion. By clicking on the coloured bar in the “Results” column, you can access a detailed view that shows you how the pupil has completed the chapter exercises.

Another pupil-specific filtering option is in the course’s “Tasks” view, where you can find all answers to exercises that have been sent to the pupils via the “Assign task” function. In this view, you can correct and comment on the pupil’s answers and select the type of assessment. 

How can I see which licenses the pupil has?

A: Go to the course’s “Settings” page where the pupil list is visible, and move the mouse cursor to the green check next to the pupil’s name. This will display a window that shows all the licenses valid for the pupil.

The school admin can also search for a pupil in the “Users” view to examine and remove their  licenses, if necessary. Of course, you can always ask us for help as well.
