How do I print Age of Learning QR codes for students and teachers?

Age of Learning QR codes allow students and teachers to log in to our programs without entering login credentials. Instead, students and teachers can simply hold their Age of Learning QR code up to their device camera to log in automatically. 

It's important to note that the QR codes are exclusively available to users holding specific product licenses to My Math Academy, My Reading Academy, and My Reading Academy Español. 

Administrators, District, School, or Class roles do not have their own QR codes, but they can still view and print out QR codes for their Teachers and Students.

Reminder: Before getting started, please make sure your printer is connected to your device and turned on.

Download and Print QR Codes for Your Students

Note: Make sure that all students you want QR codes for have been assigned to a Class with a Teacher and have valid licenses assigned to them. You won't be able to generate a QR code for any student who does not yet have a Teacher assigned, and the QR login will fail (a pop-up will say the download was Canceled) if the student doesn't have a license for the product.

1. Log in to your Educator Center account.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Click Accounts at the top of your screen. 
   
   
   
   
3. Use the drop-down menu to click Manage.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Students. This will take you to the Students page at https://educate.aofl.com/students/, which you can think of as a Student Management or Student Settings page.
   
   
   
   
5. Use the checkboxes to select all the students you want QR codes for (it can be just one). To more quickly select all of your students, click the very top checkbox and choose Select All from the drop-down.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Click the blue Bulk Actions menu on the right side of your screen.
   
   
   
   
   
7. Click Generate QR for Login from the drop-down menu.
   
   
   
   
8. Click the blue Download PDF button and then watch for a green pop-up at the top of the page, which will confirm that the QR codes have been generated and give you a link to Download them. 
   
   Important: It typically takes around five seconds for the green pop-up to appear, but it could take 20 seconds or more, depending on your Wi-Fi/Internet connection speed. The green Download pop-up also typically only remains on your screen for a few seconds, so you could miss it if you aren't paying attention.
   
   
   
   
9. As soon as you see the green pop-up, click Download to download the PDF files of the QR codes to your computer. (See the Tip at the end if you don't see this pop-up.)
   
   
   
   If you selected one student to generate a QR code for, and that student does not have a valid license or has not been assigned to a class with a teacher, you will see this black pop-up notification that the QR code generation was cancelled instead of the green one.
   
   
   
   If you select multiple students (or a whole class) and one or more do not have a valid license or an assigned class with a teacher, the QR downloads will download successfully, but the PDF with the student codes will not include the students without a license or class.
   
   
10. If the PDF with the QR Codes does not open automatically, click your Recent Downloads icon on your web browser. 
    
    
    
    
11. Click the PDF file (there will just be one PDF with all the QR codes you requested). 
    
    
    
    
12. Click the printer icon and print as you would any other PDF or document.
    
    

Tip: If you didn't see the green pop-up and didn't get to download the QR codes, click on the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of the Educator Center that says Welcome and then your name. Select Downloads and Jobs from the menu, and you will see a list of your downloads with the most recent one on top. You can click to download and print the QR code PDF from there.

QR Code Tips  and Troubleshooting

• Download and Jobs option: If you didn't see the green pop-up and didn't get to download the QR codes at first, click on the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of the Educator Center that says Welcome and then your name. Select Downloads and Jobs from the menu, and you will see a list of your downloads with the most recent one on top. You can click to download and print the QR code PDF from there.
  
  
• Canceled Download or Missing Students: You can only generate and download a QR code for students who have a valid license and have been assigned to a class with a teacher. If you try to download a code for an unlicensed (or unassigned) student, you will see a pop-up saying the QR code generation was Canceled. If you are downloading QR codes for a number of students and some have licenses and some don't, the download will work but you will only see QR codes for the ones with licenses.
  
  
  
  
•  Different Browsers: When you download files from your web browser, exactly where they show up can be different. But there is typically a Downloads icon to the right of the URL bar. You may also see downloads in your browser's History menu (but not always). You can also look in your computer's Downloads folder.
  
  
• Only One PDF: If you are downloading 1 QR code, 4 codes, or a full class of codes, there will only be 1 PDF file that contains QR codes for all the students you selected. 
  
  
• Emailing QR Codes to Parents: Teachers sometimes want to email the QR codes to families to facilitate program usage at home. QR codes are generated as PDFs that you can attach to an email, but you will want to generate the codes one at a time for each student. If you generate the codes in bulk, you will have one PDF the includes the codes for all the students you selected, which would be confusing and inappropriate to send to families, even though the codes are labeled with each name. It would be too easy for someone to inadvertently use the wrong one and corrupt your classroom data.
