21st Century Learning and Teaching

The most common causes of inappropriate behavior or suspected ‘password hacks’ are:

 

- Using a generic username and password for all students.

 

- Failure to use unique passwords for each student.  

 

- The teacher creates student accounts with a different usernames but the same password for all students or a standard approach to assigning passwords that allows students to easily guess other students’  passwords.

 

- Students telling other students (or siblings) their username and password.

 

- Failing to log out of accounts or using ‘Remember my password’ on shared computers.
