How do I set up Unrulr in less than five minutes?

Get Unrulr set up in less than five minutes. It's easier than it looks, particularly if you are syncing a Google Classroom class.

Step 1. Create an Account

1. Using your browser, go to https://admin.unrulr.com/#/sign-up/0.
2. Click "Sign In with Google"
3. Sign in with the account you'd like to use with Unrulr.
   • This is usually your school account.
   • If you don't have a Google Account, email us at [e-mail], and we'll figure something out.

 

Step 2. Create your Organization

1. Enter the name of your organization (usually your school name).
2. Click "NEXT".

Note: If you are already part of an existing organization you'll see it listed on this page. If you'd like to add a class or edit your current set up within that organization, click "GO" next to its name.

 

Step 3. Create Your First Group

Groups are sets of students and teachers who can share with one another. Groups can be classes, project teams, clubs, etc.

You create your first group by either importing a class from Google Classroom or manually building it.

To create your group via Google import:

1. Click the "Sync" button.
2. Allow Unrulr to have access to your Google Classroom account.
3. Choose the class to sync.

Note: Updates you make to your Google Classroom roster will automatically sync with Unrulr.

 To create your group manually:

1. Click the "Build" button in the "Manually Add Users" box.
2. Enter the name of your group.
3. Optionally enter the section and description of your group.
4. Enter the emails of the members in the group.
   • For each email you enter, select student, teacher, or observer.
     • Teachers have special abilities. They can:
       • be shared with separately from student peers
       • give assessments that are tabulated separately from those of student peers
       • moderate posts
       • make administrative changes to the group
     • Observers can see all posts shared with the group, but can take no actions
   • All emails you enter must be connected to Google accounts.
   • You may type or paste in more than one address at once.
   • You can always add more members later.
   • You will be included in the group as the teacher by default.
   • The accounts you add will get no invitation from the system. The members are able to sign into Unrulr immediately upon completion of your setup.
5. Click "NEXT" in the upper right of the page.

 

Step 4. Add Cogs to Your Group

Every learning moment and learning journey in Unrulr is tagged with one or more cogs. By adding cogs to a group, these cogs become available for tagging by the students in that class.

To choose from a library of commonly used cogs:

1. Click "BROWSE" in the Choose from our Cogs Library box.
2. Select one or more cog sets by clicking the blue check marks to the right of each set.
3. Click "NEXT" in the upper right of the page.

To create your own cogs:

• Click "BUILD" in the Build Your Own Cogs box.
• Follow the directions starting from Step 2 of How do I create my own cogs?

Step 5. Review Your Set Up and Save

• A summary of your setup is displayed.

• If it looks good, click "GET STARTED" to save your setup. Otherwise, click "BACK" and make changes.
