If you are new to iCEV & Google Classroom Integration, please review this guide in its entirety before getting started. If you have already been using iCEV with Google Classroom but are experiencing issues, please click the button below to refer to the "FAQ's/Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: Student licenses must be purchased to use the external tool.
iCEV System Requirements
Please share iCEV’s system requirements with your technology department, especially the whitelist portion of the system requirements:
www.icevonline.com/systemrequirements
iCEV uses several content delivery networks to deliver content. The school system’s technology department will need to whitelist (allow) several URLs in order for iCEV to function properly.
Considerations:
Multiple internet filters and firewalls
Different settings for wired and wireless technology devices
Software on technology devices that act as an internet filter or firewall
It is imperative that you DO NOT copy Google Classrooms. Your students will not have access to iCEV assignments in the copied version.
Please avoid using Google Classroom's "Reuse Post" feature. Your students will not have access to copied iCEV assignments.
Verify you have access to student emails within your Google Classroom:
Login to Google Classroom
From a classroom, click the "People" tab
Click the three dots beside a student's name and click "Email student"
If you are unable to compose an email, then your Google Admin will need to allow student emails so iCEV can properly integrate with Google Classroom.
After reviewing the "Before You Get Started" and "Important Guidelines" section above, please continue to the next section.
Currently, you are unable to change the point value on iCEV Assignments, this is due to the default assignments are based on a 100 point grade scale.
Adjust your student visibility settings so that assignments are set to "Visible to Students."
From your "My Courses" page in iCEV, select the course in which you would like to adjust visibility settings for a lesson. Next, click the green "View" button next to the lesson which is showing the “Contact the Teacher” message to the students.
Scroll down to the "Interactive" section and click to expand.
Note: In the example below, the “Visible to Students” checkbox is unchecked and the “Share With Classroom” icon is missing.
Place a checkmark in the "Visible to Students" column beside all interactive content that you would like for you students to be able to see. After checking "Visible to Students," the "Share with Classroom" icon will appear and students will be able to see the assignment. Refresh your browser to confirm your changes.
Internet Filter Blocking
Depending on which browser you use and how your filtering software works, you may see either a completely blank page when trying to access a resource from iCEV or the iCEV logo may be present, but no material is visible. Your school’s internet firewall may be blocking one of our system tools. Please refer to the iCEV System Requirements section.
Student Registration Process
Once your school's technology department has reviewed the iCEV System Requirements, proceed to the steps below.
Have students log in to your Google Classroom and select your course.
Have students click on the shared assignment.
Note: If students have not previously registered for an iCEV account, they will be asked to complete the registration form. The Registration Code, First Name, Last Name, and Email fields will already be filled in. Make sure the students do not change these fields.
Have the students fill out the remaining fields, including Username, Password and Confirm Password, as well as the Forgot Password Question and Answer. The student should use their Google Classroom e-mail address as the username (this should minimize the "Username already exists" error message).
If students have previously registered for an iCEV account, they will be asked to submit a course code for your course. This code will be pre-populated in the field. Once the student clicks the green "Submit" button, they will be taken directly to the iCEV resource.
Adjust your student visibility settings so "Show Details" is unchecked.
From your "My Courses" page in iCEV, select the course in which you would like to adjust visibility settings for a lesson. Next, click the green "View" button next to the lesson in which you would like to hide answers from students.
Scroll down to the "Interactive" section and click to expand.
In the "Show Details" column, uncheck the box next to each lesson in which you would like to hide answers from students. Refresh your browser to confirm your changes.
While Google’s Gradebook may say that an iCEV assignment has not been turned in; if the grade is visible, the assignment has been submitted by the student. Please disregard this error which is a result of how Google determines if an assignment has been turned in.
A student will be prompted to update their email if there are corrections to be made on iCEV, so that the emails listed on both their iCEV and Google accounts match exactly.
The below image is what a student will see. The email provided in the Email field is what iCEV currently has for the specific account
This needs to be updated to the student’s current email address as it appears on their Google Account:
Have the student copy their email address from Google and paste it into the "Email" field on iCEV, replacing their old email address. Spelling and casing are very important!
If successful, the student will be taken to the assignment in iCEV.
An unsuccessful attempt will prompt the student that their email cannot be found in the Google Classroom to which the assignment was shared and be taken back to the iCEV.
