District eBooks Overview

When your school or school district purchases eBooks, the licenses are loaded into an account specific to the school or district. Schools can be added if there are multiple schools. Teachers are then added to a specific school by their District Administrator and a number of student licenses are distributed to each teacher account.

When a school initially adopts eBooks, one person is designated as the District Administrator. District Administrators are the point of contact for your eBooks and provide the licenses to your account. If you are not sure who your District Administrator is, please contact our Customer Support team.

HOW EBOOKS ARE DISTRIBUTED AND ALLOCATED

 

Distributing Carnegie Learning eBooks works like a distribution chain. 

There are four levels of Carnegie Learning eBooks management:

District Admin > School Admin > Teacher > Student

  1. Carnegie Learning assigns the eBooks licenses to your district and assigns a District Administrator.

  2. The District Administrator creates schools if needed and assigns the Carnegie Learning eBooks licenses to a school within the district.

    1. They may also assign a School Administrator, especially for larger districts.

  3. Either the District Administrator or the School Administrator allocates the Carnegie Learning eBooks licenses to the teachers in each school.

    1. In smaller school districts, the District Administrator will allocate licenses to the school and the instructors.

    2. Large school districts normally choose one or two people at each school to allocate to the instructors at that school.

  4. Once the teachers have their licenses, they can provide access codes to their students. For instructions on how instructors access their student licenses, see Related Articles below.
