Schedule a time that works for everyone to do an initial orientation

This orientation can be done on the student's first day ONLY if that time is available on the @home Appointment+ schedule

• Otherwise, the orientation can be scheduled for anytime before the student's first online session

Let them know if the student is only working online or if they are hybrid

Give a quick summary of the situation with the student

If you have not already done so, make sure to set up the student's account through the VCP admin portal!

To do so, you can follow the Adding Students to Mathnasium@home guide listed above in Resources

Students returning to the platform may already have their account created

• You can check those details on the VCP Admin page under Users

Send an email to the student's guardian (contact info found in Radius) and include the student's Username and Password so they are able to login

If you have not already done so, make sure to add the student's work to their Digi-Decks in VCP

You may use the Uploading Student Work to @home guide listed above in Resources

You can visit the student's depository page to make sure work has been uploaded successfully

• VCP Admin -> Depository -> Student -> *Search Student Name*

Add a new digi-deck to the student's depository in VCP

• Name the deck "[Student's Name] Orientation Page"

If prompted, set the deck as active digi-deck

• Otherwise, go to the students resourses and click the yellow star to set as active

Open the student's Orientation Page digi-deck

Click the "EDIT" button in the top right

Under "Select a PDF", type "Online Student Code of Conduct" and add click ADD

Repeat the last steps to also add the "Rewards Cabinet" pdf

Check and see if the student is able to connect to the VCP platform

• If they are, then use the Door icon to connect to them directly

• If they do not show up, give the parent a call and help troubleshoot through the process

• They should be able to navigate to the login through your center's Parent Portal

Student should have their mic and webcam on throughout the entirety of their @home session

Reiterating this to the student/parent helps set that expectation so the online instructors can manage things easier 

Run them through the steps to message their instructor

• Remind them to message their instructor anytime they need anything

• They also need to reach out to their instructor if they are going to be stepping away from the computer

Make sure the student is aware on how to use these tools:

• Text box

• Pencil

• Shapes

• Etc.

Using the student's Orientation Page, review the Online Student Code of Conduct

Have the student use the whitboard tools to fill out and sign the page

Locate the Rewards Cabinet pdf (second page of Orientation Page) 

Talk to them about the rewards and how they work

• Students receive stamps/cards during work online

• They can redeem 15 cards in order to have an item delivered to them

• They need to talk with their instructor when they are ready to redeem stamps for rewards 

Connect with one of the instructors working on the platform to let them know that this student is ready to start their session

You can also use the chat function to send a message to the instructor

• However, chat usage is buggy, so make sure the instructor responds before leaving
