STUDENTS JOINING VIA QR CODE WITH AN iOS DEVICE

When joining a Classroom session by scanning a QR code with a device such as an iPad, teachers should inform students of the following:

  • Use the native camera app to scan the QR code.
  • In iOS Settings > Safari, ensure Request Desktop Website is deactivated.

Not following the above points will lead to errors. If Classroom is launched as a desktop website in Safari, students will not be able to join a Classroom session.

Join via Google Classroom

To join via Google Classroom, teachers must first trigger a post to Google Classroom from myViewBoard Classroom.

  1. Go to your Google Classroom space.
  2. Locate your teacher's invitation post.
  3. Open the link, and then enter your name (and session password if required).
  4. A student canvas should load.
