When you create student accounts at ubbu, your students are assigned a username. For security reasons, this name is automatically generated and cannot be edited.


However, ubbu offers a feature that allows you to link the student´s real names with the matching usernames, that only you can see.

To do this, click on a class and the Student list button. Then click on Add real names to my student list in the top right-hand corner.

You will then see a list of the usernames of each student in the class. To link the usernames to their real names, select a student and click Edit.

Then fill in the Student Name field with your real name and click Confirm.

When you've finished, we'll ask you to set a key. This key is a kind of password that will store your students' real names in a secure and encrypted way, so don't forget it.

Only you can access this data, and it will not be stored on our servers.

You can also export a list in .csv format for later reference. Click on Export list (.csv) and a .csv file will be downloaded to your computer with a table of your students' names, just as you defined them.

When you return to your lessons view and other areas of the platform, you will also be able to see the real names of the students below their usernames.


​If you happen to switch computers, or simply stop seeing the students names, you will see the option Why am I not seeing my students real names?

If you press this button, you will be prompted for the key that you set earlier.

If you happen to have forgotten the key, press the Did you forget your key? option to set the names again.
