ROSTERED TEACHER
June 2025
This guide walks you through the first things to do— accessing your account, exploring your materials, and setting up your classes—so you can get started quickly and smoothly.
This guide is for teachers whose accounts and classes are automatically rostered through a Single Sign-On system (such as ClassLink, Clever) or a Learning Management System (LMS) (such as Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, or Brightspace).
Your classes, student accounts, and resources have already been set up for you. This guide will help you log in, explore The KWL Hub platform, and get started with the materials. Whether you’re brand new or just need a refresher, you’ll find quick tips and answers to common questions to help you make the most of your teaching tools.
Let’s get started!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An online platform your school uses to organize classes, share materials, assign work, and track student progress. Examples include Canvas, Schoology, and Google Classroom.
SINGLE SIGN-ON (SSO):
A secure login system that lets you access multiple apps and platforms using one set of credentials, usually provided by your school or district. This means you only need to sign in once to get into all your approved tools. Examples include Clever and ClassLink.
To begin using The KWL Hub, you’ll need to:
• Log in to your teacher account
• Verify that you have access to the correct materials for the school year
• Assign book content to your students
Follow the steps in this “Getting Started” section to ensure you’re ready for a smooth start to the school year.
How you log in to The KWL Hub depends on how your school or district has set up your access. Below are links to guides for each common integration method. If you don’t see your setup listed, please contact your school administrator or your sales consultant for assistance.
• How to access The KWL Hub via Canvas
• How to access The KWL Hub via Clever
• How to access The KWL Hub via Google Classroom
• How to access The KWL Hub via Moodle
• How to Access The KWL Hub via Schoology
❗ Important: Please do not create a new account on your own. To access your classes and materials, you must log in through your school’s Single Sign-On (SSO) system or Learning Management System (LMS).
When you log in for the first time, you will be prompted to accept the privacy policy. Click on “I Agree to Klett World Languages Privacy Policy” to proceed.
❗ Note: If you do not click on this blue bar, the system will log you out each time you try to log in.
You can access our privacy policy at any time.
Once you’re logged in, check that you have access to the correct programs and levels for your courses. You should see your assigned books and teacher materials in your dashboard. If anything is missing or doesn’t look right, contact your administrator or sales consultant as soon as possible so we can resolve it before classes begin.
Click on the blue bar “I agreed” to proceed.
The next step is to assign the book(s) to your classes. Assigning the book allows the students rostered into your class(es) to access the book materials as well as complete any assignments you create on The KWL Hub. To assign the book to your class(es), follow the steps below:
Go to Content
Click on Assign Books
Select the book you want to assign. The title will appear in the Assign Books panel on the right of your screen.
In the Assign to Class(es) box, select the class or classes from the dropdown list. You can add multiple classes if needed.
❗Note: Bear in mind that your classes are automatically synchronized with your SSO or LMS. If you don’t see your classes, please contact your IT administrator. Please do not create any classes or students manually.
❗ Important: If a student joins a class after the book has already been assigned to the class, you will need to manually assign the book to them. To ensure all students have access to the content, we recommend reassigning the book to the entire class.
❗ Important: Only assign the book to classes that need it. Assigning content uses student licenses held by your school/district.
Confirm that the book title and selected class(es) are correct, then click Assign
You will see the message: “Your request for assigning content has been submitted.” Your students will now be able to see the book under My Books when they log in.
❗ Important: If you receive the error message: “You have already exhausted the maximum number of users to which this content can be assigned,” please contact your school or district admin. This means all licenses for that book have been used.
Below is a quick guide to help you create assignments. For a detailed walkthrough, visit the full assignment guide on the KWL Support page under Teacher Resources for Assignments

In My Classes, you’ll see all the classes linked to your teacher account.
These classes are automatically created through your school or district’s integration with its student information system. Because of this setup, you won’t be able to manually add or delete classes. If something doesn’t look right, like a missing class or incorrect roster, please reach out to your IT administrator for assistance.
In My Students, you’ll see all students rostered to your classes.
The student rostering process will vary depending on your integration method:
• Clever and ClassLink: No action is required. Students are rostered automatically by your school or district’s IT administrator. Your class list will update as students are added or removed from your SIS.
• Schoology, Canvas, and other LTI integrations: Students must launch The KWL Hub from within your LMS to be rostered into your class.
• In Canvas, the launch link appears in the Assignments section.
• In Schoology, it appears in Materials.
❗Note: If you can’t see the launch point for your students, please contact your IT administrator.
Once a student clicks the launch link, they will be automatically added to your class. The student process mirrors the teacher process; students should log in to The KWL Hub the same way you do, via the LMS.
• Google Classroom: When you logged in for the first time, you were prompted to sync your Google Classroom classes. If you need to update or re-sync your classes later:
1. Log into your KWL Hub account.
2. Click Integrations from the left menu.
3. Click Google Classroom.
4. Click the green Start Sync button.
You will be directed to the sync page where you can adjust which classes you’d like to connect and sync.

If you’re unsure of how to guide students through the rostering process (for LTI integrations like Canvas or Schoology), or if something doesn’t look right–like a missing student or an incorrect roster–please reach out to your IT administrator for support.
Need help managing students? Check out the Impersonate Students feature guide for help with impersonating students.
In Groups, you can view all the groups you have created. Groups are useful when a subgroup of students is needed across different classes. They allow you to create specific assignments for selected students. When assigning an assignment, you can assign it to a specific group instead of the entire class.
Check out the Creating a Group article for detailed guidance.

Activities from the Interactive Textbook and Interactive Workbook can be assigned by the teacher or completed independently by the student.
��Tip: Remember that you can create and assign assignments directly from the interactive content. Jump back to the Create assignments from Interactive Activities section to see how.
Interactive Quizzes are quizzes that can be completed by students directly online. These quizzes are autograded, and students receive immediate feedback and a score automatically upon submission.
Teachers must assign interactive quizzes in order to make them available to students.
To assign interactive quizzes, teachers may use the Create New Assignment feature found directly in the content viewer or go to the Assignments section and create / edit an assignment to add the desired interactive quiz.
Self-check quizzes are auto-corrected assessments for grammar and vocabulary in each unit. Students have access to these quizzes by default in their accounts. They can complete self-check quizzes to help determine their understanding of each topic. Student scores for unassigned self-check quizzes are not recorded or sent to the teacher.
To record a student score on a self-check quiz, it must first be assigned by the teacher.

Use your school’s Single Sign-On portal (like Clever, ClassLink) or your LMS login (Canvas, Schoology, etc.) to access the platform. Look for the app icon or link provided by your school.
Contact your school’s IT department or LMS administrator to confirm the app is enabled for your account.
Rosters usually sync automatically overnight or weekly depending on your school’s schedule. If a student is missing, check with your school’s roster administrator.
Rostering is managed centrally via your LMS or student information system, so you cannot manually add or remove students in the platform.
Have the student try logging in through the same LMS or SSO portal you use. If issues persist, direct them to your school’s IT help desk.
Find the full Student Guide on The KWL Hub Support page.
Once logged in, you will find your books on your main dashboard. Click the book to open the course player and access your materials. If you can’t find your books on your main dashboard, please contact Support.
Assignments can be accessed via the Assignments section. Click Assignments in the left menu and go to “Create Assignment” to view the full list of created assignments.
I CAN’T SEE THE ASSIGNMENTS BUT MY STUDENTS SAY THEY SUBMITTED THEM.
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. If the assignment included any teacher-graded activities, the assignment will appear in “Assignments to Grade” until you score the assignment. Once you score the assignment, the grade will appear in your gradebook.
You can manually override student scores from the Gradebook. Go to the student summary report and click on the pencil icon to edit grades.
Your classes and rosters will update with the new term. You may want to export grades or student work if needed before data is cleared.
