Purpose / Use / Notes*: Our teachers have been asked to use this resource as they prepare students for the ACT. We are having difficulty getting students into the system in an easy way. They do have an interface with Canvas but when teachers try to use this interface they get the following error message: {"error":invalid_request","error_description":"redirect_uri does not match client settings"}
Login / Access Information for Evaluation (Do not enter sensitive password information): All users can create their own logins. This is not managed by an individual. But, teachers do need to have their students assigned to classes so they can track usage and progress for students.
