GLOSSARY
ACTIVITY
An activity in The KWL Hub is an interactive exercise within the course content, designed for independent practice or as part of an assignment. Activities can be auto-graded or teacher-graded, and to record the score, the activity must be included in an assignment. These activities can be used to reinforce learning, assess progress, and encourage further exploration.
ASSIGNMENT
A set of interactive activities that teachers can select and organize to support student practice. Assignments can be sent to students, tracked for completion, and scored, with results recorded in the teacher’s gradebook. Teachers can customize assignment settings, including availability dates, due dates, and the number of allowed attempts.
Graded Assignment
These assignments are recorded in the teacher’s gradebook upon student submission. Once assigned, they appear in the Assignments section of the student’s account.
Ungraded Assignment
Designed for practice only, ungraded assignments do not track completion and are not recorded in the gradebook. Students can access their ungraded assignments in the Classwork section.
BOOK ACCESS CODE
A book access code provides access to the digital content. It is a unique alphanumeric code consisting of 16 characters, including both letters and numbers, separated by hyphens (e.g., H82D-OSQ9-8TL4-M5UR).
CLASS CODE
A class code provides access to your class and assignments. You will need to share the class code with your students. A class code is a unique alphanumeric code consisting of 8 characters, including letters and numbers, and is case-sensitive (e.g., j2ABCxtu).
COURSE PLAYER
The Course Player is the area of The KWL Hub where teachers and students access digital course content, including textbook materials, multimedia resources, and interactive activities. It serves as the central space for engaging with lessons.

Happy teaching!
MY STUDENTS DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO THE CONTENT (BOOK)
If students can’t access the book content, they may not have added their book access code, or it may have expired. For step-by-step instructions, see our tutorial: Adding a Book Access Code or Class Code (Students)
�� Pro Tip: You can impersonate a student’s account to check if their book access code has been added.
MY STUDENTS DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO THE ASSIGNMENTS
Students may not have added the class code. Once they enter the code, they will be rostered in your class. For step-by-step instructions, see our tutorial: Adding a Book Access Code or Class Code (Students)
I CAN’T SEE THE ASSIGNMENTS
This is likely because the assignment was created as ungraded. Ungraded assignments are designed for practice only—they do not track completion and do not appear in the teacher gradebook.
I REDEEMED THE CODE ON THE WRONG EMAIL ACCOUNT
Our technical support team can help with that! Please submit a technical support ticket with your book access code, as well as the correct email address you need to associate with the account.
Your students should always redeem both your Class Code and Book Access Code on the same account. Your students should always use their school emaill address to ensure proper access. For detailed instructions, see our tutorial: Adding a Book Access Code or Class Code (existing account).
