Visit our EDU Overview article for a detailed introduction on how EDU Management works and user roles. Or visit our Managing EDU Classes article for more about modifying Classes.

Users in your EDU School are organized by Classes. Only the School's Owner can create or delete a Class list. Your subscription may limit your maximum allowed users, otherwise Classes can contain up to 100 members and Owners may create a maximum of 20 Classes.

Owner or Teachers can invite or delete other members as well as change members' user roles.

All users must create their own NaturalReader account by registering with an email address.

Users don't need to have an existing NaturalReader account when you send them an invitation. If they are not already registered, they will be guided through the process during the invitation process.

When they access your Join Code or Invite Email, they will be given the option of either registering or logging in to proceed.

There are 3 methods for inviting users to your EDU School: Sharing a join code link (URL), inviting a user by email, or inviting multiple users at once by email.

Keep in mind that EDU Management settings can be accessed from the web app version only. It cannot open from the mobile app.


Inviting Users by Sharing a Join Code Link

This is the quickest and easiest way to invite members to your EDU School simply by sharing a URL. You can use this method to invite a single user or multiple users. Only the Owner or Teachers can invite users to the School.

Your Join Code expires after 2 weeks. You can generate a new code at any time (Step 8 below).

  1. Open the personal web app. If you are already logged in, skip to Step 3. If you are already in the EDU Management settings, skip to Step 4

  2. Login to your user account by going to Account and selecting Login

  3. Once you're logged in, return to Account and select EDU Management

  4. EDU Management opens to the Member List by default. Or, select Member List from the left side menu

  5. The Member List by default opens to the last Class you viewed. If you're already viewing the Class you'd like to invite users to, proceed to Step 6. If not, use the Class drop-down menu in the top right to select the Class you'd like to invite users to (eg Default Class in the image below)

  6. Select Add Member from the left side menu

  7. Select Join in with class code

  8. It will show you your Join Code, which expires periodically. If the code is expired, select Generate a New Code

  9. Select Copy Link to copy the URL

  10. Share the URL with with any user you'd like to invite. Invited users don't have to already have a NaturalReader account registered. When they access the link, they will be prompted to either login or register to continue

Members added by accessing your Join Code are designated with Student user roles by default. User roles can be changed from your Member List by Teachers or the Owner.
