You should purchase all of your course subscriptions under one account with a single email address. This is especially true if you have multiple students taking courses.
When you go through the purchase and registration process, you will create an account that will be associated with your order. This will be the "parent" or "administrative" account.
When you are logged in to this account, you will see links to each of your active subscriptions.
After purchase, when you click on the "Assign and Start" link, you will be given the opportunity to begin a course.
Assign the course to yourself only if you are the student.
Assign the course to a “New Student” if the student has not yet taken a Thinkwell course or does not have their own account. Enter a username (an email address is not required to make a Student Account).
Assign the course to an “Existing Student” if your student has already created an account. Simply add their username or email address, and the course will be assigned to them.
Making a separate account for the course parent/facilitator and the different student accounts allows each student to log in only to their own course without having access to another student's course.
Also, creating separate student accounts for each student is mandatory if you have multiple students taking the same course, as our system cannot create two enrollments to the same course under one subscription. In other words, each student must have their own course subscription.
The Administrative Account allows you to log in to all of your students' accounts without having to log in separately to each student's account when you wish to view their course.
If you have accidentally assigned a course to the wrong student account or wish to assign it to a new student account that you will create, you have 14 days from the day you start the course to reassign it. Simply log in to your parent/admin account and follow the "Re-Assign" link next to the course subscription.
