Q: How do I get content to load from Accelerate Education onto my iPad?

A: We have noticed that some iPads have a setting enabled that is blocking the content from Accelerate Education. Please take the following steps to resolve this:

~ Open Settings.

~ Scroll down and select Safari.

~ Under Privacy & Security, turn off “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” and “Block All Cookies”.

~ When the login fails on the iPad, click on close in the upper right, then click on the 3 vertical dots and choose "Use application login".

~ Enter the username and password, then the app works as it should.

Q: How do I submit an assignment in an Accelerate Education course in Buzz? The submit button is grayed out and I am unable to click it to submit work.

A: If you are a parent/guardian and you log into Accelerate Education as a Learning Coach (Observer role), you must make sure you completely log out of both Buzz and Genius. If you simply click X when exiting Buzz, the system will retain your login information, and when your student logs into the course, the student will still be logged in under your account.

Please Note: The Observer role is not permitted to submit assignments.
