(1) UCF Faculty - Request an Instructor-Level Account
- Contact your department's subject librarian to request an instructor account for Mango LanguagesIf multiple faculty in a unit would like instructor accounts, create an Excel file with three columns of information for each faculty member: Last Name, First Name, Email. Provide the Excel file to your department's subject librarian.
NOTE: Student accounts will be created by the students themselves, NOT through uploading an Excel file.
Once your account is created and you have responded to the authentication email, log into your account.
(2) Select the Groups icon
(3) Create a new group
Create a separate group for each section of a course. Create a new group each semester.
Two instructors cannot co-own a single group. If two instructors are co-teaching a class or a GTA is assisting with the class, each instructor/GTA needs to create their own group. Then have each of the students in the class join both groups. Each instructor will see identical information about the student activity.
(4) Name the group using the following format
Use this specific format to name the group for your course so that the site administrator can manage the hundreds of groups that will be created. Start with the semester designation followed by the course and section number. Do not include spaces. Use a single dash to separate the semester from the course number and a single dash to separate the course number from the section number.
- Spring 2016 = 2016S
- Summer 2016 = 2016Su
- Fall 2016 = 2016F
If you are creating a group that doesn't have a course number, still identify the semester as the first part of the name, then NA, then a meaningful descriptive name. Examples: 2016S-NA-BelizeProject, 2016Su-NA-ELI-Level2, 2016F-NA-FCTLWinterConference
Do NOT use the box to invite students using their email addresses. There is a much easier method described below.
(5) Have your students create their individual accounts

The instructions to provide to your students for joining your class are on the Students page of this guide.
(6) Provide the invite code for your group to the enrolled students
Do not use the virtual classroom option to send the students an email. You'll have to enter the email address for all students and what you enter will need to match the email addresses they used to create their Mango accounts.
(7) Look through the Instructor Guides to identify relevant modules
(8) Tell the students which modules they should select to work through.
(9) Some modules have placement and assessment tests
