Sign in with Google
Learners use their Google account instead of another password. Signing in takes a single click on the login page. This suits learners who already use Google at school or at home, and it lowers the barrier to creating an account and starting a first course.
Linked to their profile
The Google sign-in is tied to the learner's own account. Their courses, progress and results are there each time they sign in. Learners can still use the account as normal, and nothing is lost when they switch between a phone, a tablet and a home or school computer.
Fewer forgotten passwords
Getting started is quicker for everyone. Learners spend less time resetting passwords and more time learning, and parents have one less login to remember for their children. Support staff also handle fewer login and password reset requests, which frees them to help with the questions that really need their attention.
