šŸ’” Tip: Share and Save the login URL or Class Login QR code with your students so they can easily log into CodeHop. This link and QR code remain the same every time you use them.

Section Login Method Customization

As a teacher, you can choose the exact way that you would like students to access CodeHop in your Section. Set this up by scrolling down to Section Options at the bottom of the Roster page, and use the option tiles to select the login method students will use:

Then, your students will log in using one of the methods outlined below for your section:

Logging in using a QR Code

Students can scan a QR code to instantly log in to CodeHop. You can share a login QR code for your entire class, or you can share individualized QR codes with each student.

Class Login QR Code

Scanning this QR Code (or copying and pasting the link below it into your browser) will bring students to the login page for the Section. Students will then be able to log in by following whichever login method your class is utilizing.

All Students QR Code

Students will find their name (or picture/emoji) on the list of Student QR Codes. Students can either scan the QR Code to log into their CodeHop account, or they can copy and paste the link that is listed right below the QR Code. Copying and pasting this link into a browser will automatically log the students on.

  2. Students should enter their email addresses and click next. Then, students should enter their passwords and click next again.

  3. Now your student should be logged in.

It is important to make sure that the student's email address is the same as the email address attached to their student account on CodeHop. Otherwise, the SSO will not work.

Logging Students Out
