The Student IDs

Preparation: Create a list of your learners with their university Google email addresses and groups.

• Here is a template we created for you: Шаблон студентов и групп
• To make a copy, click File ➔ Make a copy.

The login and IDs are not unified entirely, which creates some confusion.

1. The students log into DALES using their S000 number
2. The students have an email address using a Latinized spelling of their name in the format of last.f@edu.ektu.kz.
   • Please take note of the dot . in the email address because that indicates a student email.
   • Faculty and staff Google accounts and email address uses the same as their login.
3. The students log in to Open edX using their university Google account (not their S000 number)
   • Open edX automatically creates an account name using part of their email address and converts the . in their username an _.
     • Open edX email login: tsov.m@edu.ektu.kz
     • Open edX account: tsov_m
   • In Open edX, you can either use their email address or username for most things.

Do you know your students' S000 numbers but not their email addresses? Use this form to find it.

The login is @edu.ektu.kz
