July 2025 Core5
Core5
We created a new login screen design to simplify the login experience!
With this update, students and educators now use the same input fields to enter their username or email address and password.
We added your school name and program version to the bottom of the login screen, as well as an image that appears on the login screen, which will rotate based on a set of pre-selected images.
