Before You Get Started

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

After completing the iCEV System Requirements section please continue to the next section.

Link iCEV with your Google Credentials

Note: Before you can sign in to iCEV using your Google credentials, you will need to link the email that is associated with your google classroom account, to your iCEV account.

Begin by logging in to your Google Classroom account. Next, visit login.icevonline.com and log in by entering your credentials in the username and password fields.

After logging in to iCEV, click the "My Profile" link in the top right corner of the screen. Replace your current email address with your Google Classroom email address in the "Email" field and click "Save."

Finally, log out of iCEV.

You will now be able to log in to iCEV using the "Sign in with Google" button.

Sharing iCEV Content

 Important

The first time you share content from iCEV to Google Classroom, Google will ask you to grant access to iCEV. In order to integrate iCEV with Google Classroom, you must accept ALL seven permissions by clicking "Allow" and confirming your choices.
 

If you are stuck in a loop when attempting to accept permissions, please click here and follow the instructions in the "Why am I receiving an error when trying to share content from iCEV to Google Classroom?" section of the FAQ's for steps on how to resolve this issue.

Sharing a Video/PowerPoint® Lesson
After you have granted iCEV permissions, from the lesson page, click the “Share Video/PowerPoint with Classroom” button located directly beneath each lesson. The “Video/PowerPoint Visible to Students” box (located at the top right of the lesson) must be checked for the "Share Video/PowerPoint with Classroom" button to appear.

Sharing Interactive Activities & Assessments
After you have granted iCEV permissions, from the lesson page, click the Google Classroom icon beside each interactive resource. "Visible to Students" must be checked for the Google Classroom icon to appear.

Note: We are in the process of adding the ability to share printable resources to Google Classroom.

Set Up Shared Content
When sharing content, make sure to select the correct class from the "Select Google Class" dropdown menu. Enter the title of the assignment and instructions for your students.

If you have successfully shared content you will receive the following message: "Assignment has been shared to Google Classroom successfully." Lessons and resources you have shared with Google Classroom can be found in your Classroom stream. You may need to refresh your browser tab to see changes.

iCEV & Google Classroom Grading Overview

Key Points

• iCEV grades will only appear in the Google Classroom gradebook if assignments are shared from iCEV to Google Classroom by clicking the share to classroom icon. "Show on Grades Report" must be checked for the grade to appear in iCEV and Google Classroom.

• If you allow students multiple attempts on an iCEV assignment, only the most recent score will be populated in the Google Classroom gradebook.

• For grades to pass correctly between iCEV and Google Classroom, all iCEV assignments must be scored on the 100-point grade scale. Changing the assignment weight scale will cause errors in scoring data. This only applies to the interactive, automatically graded assignments.

• While Google’s gradebook may say that an iCEV assignment has not been turned in, if the grade is populated then the assignment has been turned in; this is due to an error with how Google determines if an assignment has been turned in.

• As a student is working on an assignment their progress is recorded in iCEV. Upon completion, the assignment is automatically graded and the score is logged in iCEV. The grade is then sent back to Google Classroom and is recorded in the gradebook.

• If you are unable to see grades within Google Classroom, you can still access all grades for completed assignments within the Course Grades Report found on the iCEV platform.
