To change your password, head to the ReadCloud Settings icon in the bottom left of your Bookshelf, where there will be an option called ‘Change Password’ which allows you to change it right there from inside the app.
However, please check with your teacher or school administrator before doing so.
Open an eBook by simply clicking or tapping on the thumbnail. The first time you do this, the resource will download and from now on you can open that same resource even if you have no internet connection. It will then open to the front page.
To access Interactive Resources, click or tap the thumbnail in the same way, and a browser will open taking you to the publisher’s log in page.
Yes. ReadCloud syncs every two to three minutes. You can log in on up to six devices at the same time and view the same content.
There are two easy ways to log into ReadCloud:
A ’tile’ refers to the picture in your Bookshelf that represents one digital resource.
eBooks, both PDFs and ePubs, can be read offline after being initially downloaded and are housed in your “My Purchases” cloud. In contrast, Publisher Interactive tiles are located in your “My Interactive Logins” cloud.
Both can also be accessed in their corresponding Class Cloud, which usually have a mixture of both eBooks and Interactive Content tiles.
The eBook thumbnail image is identical to the front cover of the physical textbook, whereas the thumbnail of an interactive tile has the publisher’s interactive platform name or logo.
This is where tags become important within the Content Manager, as tagged content is archived and rolls over to the next year.
While Class Clouds are deleted and and new ones established each year, what you create and keep in your Content Manager doesn’t change. If you have grouped content created for your English class into the tag ‘English’ for example, with a few clicks you can quickly add all that content back into your new English class.
On top of this, annotations can also be exported into a spreadsheet or printed.
Before the school year starts, school administrators send ReadCloud all the data we need to map students, teachers and their classes into the platform, integrating it with your school’s timetabling software. ReadCloud supports the school closely through this process.
Yes, ReadCloud works with schools to establish a blended model of resources – both print and digital. Using our partnerships with world-class publishers, we can organise both their digital resources are allocated into your Class Clouds, and print textbooks complete with covering and numbering, delivered to your school.
