How do students log out of Core5?

Overview

It’s important for students to log out when they have finished using Core5. If students don’t log out, some of their usage minutes may not be recorded, which can result in a student not meeting their weekly target usage minutes in myLexia. Show your learners how to log out each time they finish using Core5, so they get credit for all of their minutes!

How to log out of Core5 so that all minutes are recorded

Help your students get credit for all of the minutes they spend working in Core5 by making sure that they log out each time they finish using the program. 

Make sure your students know how to log out as follows:

1. Select the red X in the upper right-hand corner of the Core5 window.

2. In the logout window, select the Log out button to log out (selecting the Go Back button will return the student to the activity selection screen).

   

3. Students should now see the logout screen with the dog. Select Log Out to log out of Core5.

Not logging out can mean that not all minutes are recorded

If students leave Core5 running when they stop working, the program will log them out after a period of inactivity. When calculating usage minutes after this type of log out, the program looks for the last time Core5 communicated with the student server. 

If a student is logged out for inactivity, and hasn’t recently finished a unit or branched from one instructional step to another, for example, from Standard to Guided Practice, they may not get credit for all of the minutes they worked in Core5.

If a student consistently shows fewer usage minutes in myLexia than you expect, work with them to make sure they aren’t doing any of the following instead of logging out:

• On any device: leaving Core5 open when they walk away from the device

• Browser version: closing the browser window, logging out of device profile, closing laptop, etc.

• Browser version: switching to another tab, leaving Core5 open in the first tab

• iPad: returning to the home screen on the iPad
