After receiving your confirmation e-mail, you will be able to create a password and login to the platform for the first time. Now it’s time to get busy.

Before you start, make sure you have the necessary equipment for your ubbu classes. We recommend a computer connected to a video projector and speakers, one computer (or tablet) per student or pair of students, and internet access. For more detailed requirements, see the following article: What do I need to use ubbu?

When you login ubbu for the first time, in teacher mode, you will see this screen:

To add a new class to your account, simply press the + button. You will have to name your class, choose a school year and enter a number of students.

When you are done, click on Create Class.
​
​

Then your new class will appear on the main page.
​
​

You can always edit it by pressing the ••• button in the upper right corner and choosing Edit Students list. You can change the class name, the grade, and add or remove students.
Alternatively, you can also edit your student´s accounts directly.
​

For security reasons, you cannot customize their usernames, but you can link the real names of each student. Check out our article Connecting your students usernames with their real names to learn more.

In this page you can also see your student's default password. Write it down as you'll need it later.

In the Curriculum section you can see the list of available lessons, organized in modules, groups of lessons connected by a theme. Choose a lesson and click on it to access its details like the title, description, and its lesson plan. Click on the Lesson Plan button and you will access a document that describes in more detail each resource of the lesson.
Resources are organized as slides in order as they should be given in a lesson. You can check the lesson plan for more details about each slide.

In each lesson is the list of available resources, with the title and type (video, quiz, exercise, etc.). At any time you can click on them to preview them without starting the lesson. Click on one to join a class.
​
Each resource has associated instructions. In them you will find supporting information for the lesson, exercise resolutions, introductions and conclusions (on the initial and final slide of each lesson). To see them just press the Instructions button in the upper right corner of the lessons.
​
​

Each student was given a username, which is composed of an animal, a color or an adjective, and a number. This is the username they will use to login into the platform, and the default password is the one you pointed out earlier.

​

As soon as each student logs in, ask them to change their password to something only they know for security reasons. For more information, see the article How do I change a student´s password? .

As each student login into ubbu, you can see that they get a blue ball next to their name in the student list. This indicates that they are online.

Your students can also log into the platform in dual mode. This allows you to not need as many computers to teach a class. To find out how to double login check out the article  Login to ubbu as a student.

​

When your whole class is connected you can start your first lesson. To do this, press the Enter button. You will access the first resource, or slide, of the lesson, where the start bar is.
When you click on the Present lesson button in the upper right corner you start the lesson together with your students.

​

In the bottom bar you can navigate between resources. Your students will see the same slide that you choose, but they will only be able to interact (to perform an exercise or answer a quiz) if you choose student mode on the right side of the bar.
​
​

Whenever you need to, you can choose teacher mode again so that the lesson is "locked" and your students cannot complete exercises. This is useful when you want to give an explanation or take a break from the lesson.

To see your student's progress throughout the lesson, simply press the button in the upper right corner.

There you can see the progress of each student, as well as the results of the exercises they have completed.

When you reach the last slide you can finish the lesson by pressing either Stop presentation or Finish.

The lesson will appear as done and a lesson report will be generated, which you can see in the lesson start view, under the Lesson Results button.

If by chance your class has not completed all the exercises or moments of the lesson, you can at any time teach the lesson again by clicking on Present lesson button. Students can also finish lessons at home. The lesson report will be updated to reflect the new changes.

​
