The PLS team created a Kiosk app for Chromebooks. This browser locks students into the Learning Management System (LMS), Schoology. The behavior of this browser is similar to the SBAC browser for assessments. This App should be primarily used during assessments and does not allow students to open a secondary browser tab. For more information, please see below:Kiosk Chromebook App
The PLS team auto-installed the MyMail PIN app within all courses. The MyMail PIN app can be used by teachers to assist students in resetting their MyMail passwords. For more information, please see below:MyMail PIN App

- District Sponsored Groups
-
There are two types of District sponsored groups.
Content Groups will be utilized by Division of Instruction (DOI) and Personalized Learning Systems (PLS) to facilitate the deployment of instructional content, provide a location for content based discussion and collaboration, and as a method for targeted messaging within the platform. Content Groups will be monitored by the DOI Content Coordinators. Access to District sponsored groups will be distributed via the PLS Website behind Single Sign-On (SSO).» Click here for Content Group Access Codes.
User Groups will be created and their codes will be distributed to the LAUSD community at large. These groups will be available to any LAUSD individual, but not to public or external users. Codes will be shared via the PLS Website and placed behind SSO. User Groups will be monitored by PLS team.
