Welcome to Ubiquitous Presenter 3.0

Creating an Instructor Account and Classroom in UP 3.0

1. Go to /up/request.php to request an instructor account and classroom.
2. Fill out the form and click "Submit Request".
3. Remember your username and password. You will need them whenever you connect to the UP server.
4. Depending on server configuration, your account may be available immediately, or an administrator may have to manually approve it (you will see a message that indicates which). In the first case, you can proceed immediately to the next step. In the second case, you must wait until you get an email indicating your account was created.

You can now use your new username and password to configure your classroom further:

1. Go to the UP homepage: /up/.
2. Enter your username and password.
3. You now see a link to your new classroom.
4. You can now perform many configuration options by clicking "Manage your Classrooms", on the left under "Toolbox". For example:
• Create additional classrooms connected to your account.
• Edit classroom preferences. E.g.,
• Change the password that students use to add themselves to your classroom
• Change the display name of your classroom

How will students view your classroom?

In UP 3.0, students have their own usernames that they may attach to any number of classrooms. This allows us to collect more detailed anonymous statistics on how students use UP, and allows future support for student-specific features such as note taking, etc.

Each student makes an account by visiting /up/ and clicking on "Create an account".

They then make up an account name and password that they want to use. We only collect email address so that we can send them their password information if they forget it.

At this point, they can now log in, but don't have access to any classes. To view your classroom, they can choose the link "Enroll in a class", select your classroom for the list, and enter the classroom password that you entered when you created the class (you need to tell them that password in class). This keeps just anyone from making an account to view your class web pages.

We realize that it is now more complicated for students, but we hope they will enjoy the new features afforded by student-specific accounts.
