Scoutlier is a proud member of the Student Data Privacy Consortium. Our pledge is to responsibly steward and to safeguard student privacy. Students and their schools own the work added to Scoutlier. We do not use your content, sell your data, or advertise on the Scoutlier platform. Learners’ data is visible only to the Teacher’s Classroom or to learners involved in collaborative assignments.
Scoutlier and our mobile apps are FREE to use for teachers and learners.
Follow 3 simple steps on our Get Started page to create an account, build or borrow an activity, and assign work to your students.
Teachers who use Google Classroom can sync their classrooms with Scoutlier. Then you can easily push assignments to all students within a single Google Classroom roster. Each assignment can be viewed, commented on, and graded directly in the Google Classroom gradebook upon student submission.
If you’re not a Google Classroom user, you can still share assignments with your students. You have the option to share assignments directly with a link or create a Scoutlier class to share assignments. Learn how to create a Scoutlier class in our support document.
Teachers can share assignments with students though Google Classroom or Scoutlier Classroom or with an assignment code. To see the student access information check out this support document.
If a student is unable to see a Google Classroom assignment, please guide them to log out of Scoutlier and log in back in ensuring they select Google Classroom when logging in. After logging in select my classrooms on the left and select their class to see assignments.
Find something you like in the community library or expert content. To add to your work space select “ACTIONS” in the upper right corner, then choose “COPY.” The activity or folder will then be located in your workspace.
