Create new teacher login details (read time less than 2 minutes)

We’ve recently updated our top menu navigation (July/August 2024). We’re currently updating our user guides to reflect these changes, so thank you for your patience while we work on this. The new menu is user-friendly, so you shouldn’t experience significant disruption. If you need help locating specific items in the new menu however, watch our quick videos for admin users here, and for teachers here.

• In order to enable access to VSware for the teacher go to Settings > Users & Groups > Users > drag the name of the new teacher from the ‘No Access’ column on the left to the user group they belong to - in this case, ‘Teacher’.

• The teacher can now create their own password. All they need is the school URL and their new username. They must go to the school’s login page and click ‘Reset Account’. They will be sent a code to their phone. When they enter this, they can then create their own password. This is now their permanent password which they will use going forward.
