Schools and districts

During the pilot, the Lubna team sets up schools and districts by hand. Please contact the Lubna team to get started. There is no self-service sign-up for schools yet, and teachers cannot do the setup steps themselves.

What the Lubna team does

The Lubna team has a private admin area for this. For your school or district, the team:

Creates it in Lubna. A district can hold several schools, and each school can be linked to its district.
Records your signed data agreement. The team notes the date it was signed. The signed copy itself is kept outside Lubna.
Adds your staff. Each person needs a Lubna account first. The team adds them as a teacher or as an admin. Admins can set a teaching policy.
Links Clever or ClassLink, if you use them, so students can sign in with their school accounts. Student sign-in can only be turned on after the data agreement is recorded.

Tell the team who should be a teacher and who should be an admin, and which sign-in service you use.

What you see as a teacher

Once the Lubna team adds you to a school, you have two places to work:

My classes: your own space, where everything you made before is still waiting.
Your school: shown by the school’s name.

A Workspace menu appears in the sidebar, under Home. If you belong to more than one school, each one is listed. If you do not belong to a school, you will not see the menu.

To switch, open the menu and choose a workspace. You land on the dashboard, and your current class is cleared, so pick a class again from the class menu.

A few things to know about workspaces:

Classes, quizzes, lessons and the rest of your library belong to one workspace at a time. Switch workspaces to see the other set.
New things you make go into the workspace you are in now.
When you sign in after being added to a school, Lubna starts you in the school.
Your existing classes do not move on their own. To bring a class over, see Move a class to your school.

Verified school mode

Every class starts in anonymous mode. A class becomes verified school only after the data agreement is recorded. Teachers cannot change this on their own.

Verified school mode unlocks:

Student sign-in with Clever or ClassLink, when your district is linked.
Student accounts linked to roster codes.
Features that need a student’s identity or a parent contact, always with teacher approval.

Everything else works the same in both modes, and names still stay in the teacher’s browser. Read more in Privacy modes.

Good to know

Teachers do not need a school set up to try Lubna. They can start with an invite. See Sign in to Lubna.
