This guide explains what happens from a student or educator’s perspective. Understanding the user experience helps administrators answer questions and set expectations during rollout.

​
Student experience

After a student is added to Manage School and granted a licence:
1

Create an account or sign in

New students sign up at exam-insights.com using their school email. Existing students sign in with their current account.
2

Choose subjects

During setup (or in Account Settings), the student selects the QCAA subjects they are studying.
3

Start using the platform

With a granted licence, the student has full access to upgraded features for their chosen subjects.
Students can update their subjects at any time in Account Settings.

​
Educator experience

Educators follow the same process as students:
1

Create an account or sign in

New educators sign up at exam-insights.com using their school email. Existing educators sign in with their current account.
2

Choose teaching subjects

During setup, the educator selects the subjects they teach.
3

Start using the platform

With a granted licence, the educator has full access to upgraded features for their teaching subjects.
Educators can update their subjects at any time in Account Settings.

​
Choosing subjects

Students and educators choose their own subjects. Administrators never need to:
  • Create classes
  • Assign classes
  • Allocate subjects to users
Each user selects the subjects relevant to them during account setup. They can add or remove subjects later in Account Settings at any time.
If a student changes subjects mid-year, they can update their selection in Account Settings without administrator involvement.

​
Role differences

Students, educators, and administrators have access to different features:

​
What administrators do not need to do

Manage School is designed so administrators focus on access, not classroom setup:
  • You do not need to assign students to classes
  • You do not need to allocate subjects to users
  • You do not need to create teacher–student relationships in the platform
Users handle their own subject selection. Your role is to add users and grant licences when ready.

​
Sharing sign-in instructions

When you are ready to roll out access, share these steps with students and educators:
  1. Go to exam-insights.com
  2. Sign in with your school email (Microsoft, Google, or email and password)
  3. Select your subjects during setup
  4. Start exploring Exam Insights
