Whether you're starting from square one or you're looking for a refresher, we've got you covered! This guide highlights some of our most useful Help Centre articles for getting started with ManageBac as a student in the IB Diploma Programme or IB Career-related Programme.
Important
Students are able to access classes, their assigned year group, and simple/activity groups they wish to join. For classes, they can view the summary of unit plans covered in the class, submit work to the assignment/task dropbox, post and view discussions and view the class Files and Calendar tabs.
1. Signing-in & Accessing ManageBac
To protect your ManageBac data and class records, we recommend to create a Password that is hard to guess and generally easy to remember. Feel free to use any suggested passwords or random passwords generated by your browser, or create your own. A pass phrase of 3 or 4 random words with spaces in between could be considered hard to guess but relatively easy to remember. We do not recommend to save your password to any browser on computers that are not your personal devices.
