Slide 1

eduPass functionality

The training modules covering eduPass functionality available to you are:

•	Delegate and Revoke eduPass Administration Rights – Assign delegation rights to staff or specialist technicians. If this functionality is available to you, you have been delegated full administration rights and can on-delegate rights to other staff/specialist technicians.

Or, you may have one or more or all of the following functionalities delegated to you. 

•	Provide a Student with an eduPass Identity – Generate registration letters and provide students with their usernames and initial temporary passwords.
•	Reset a Student’s eduPass Password – Reset a student’s password when they have forgotten their password (and their PIN and answers to their secret questions for year 3–12 students).
•	Enable or Disable a Student’s eduPass Account – Enable or disable access to a student’s account.
•	Unlock a Student’s eduPass Account.
•	Change a Student’s eduPass Username – Generate a new username for a student (for example, if the original name was causing embarrassment).

The eduPass Delegated Administrator (DA) functions that have been delegated to the Administrator (in this example all administrative functions have been delegated) are shown in the left hand menu of the Administration Console and also in centre of the screen; the functions can be accessed from either location..

Slide 6

The See requests I’ve made function allows you to check the status of any request you have made in the eduPass system. It is important to monitor this function regularly. Manage any processing errors by logging a service request with the Service Desk via the IT Service Gateway on http://servicedesk.education.vic.gov.au

Slide 7

Introducing eduKate

A character with a voice over – ‘eduKate’, a kangaroo – is used to help the eduPass training be more engaging for younger students.

Students will see the visual below at the start of each of their training modules. The modules for Years 3–12 are developed in ‘learn’ mode (similar to how you are learning today) where students are able to navigate through the module themselves. Modules for Years P–2 are in 'teach' delivery mode and are designed to be viewed with supervision.

Slide 8
