Has Your Class Been Moved Online Due to Severe Weather or Another Emergency?
- Step 1: Log in to Canvas
Access Canvas at your class time using your student Login ID (not your parent Login ID).
The login page for Canvas is here: https://brainpower.instructure.com/login/canvas
- Step 2: Select Your Class
From the Canvas dashboard, choose the name of the class you need to attend.
- Step 3: Enter the Virtual Class
Click on the text “BigBlueButton” in the left-side menu.
Note: This does not look like an image of a blue button.
- Step 4: Join Class
Click the “Join” button to enter your class.
Note: This button only appears when the instructor opens the class, usually about 10 minutes before it starts.
Troubleshooting:
- Can’t See Your Class? Make sure you use your student Login ID and password to log in. (The online class won’t be visible if you use a parental Login ID). If you have forgotten your student Login ID, contact us at info@brainpower.ca. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by entering the email associated with your student account on the login page. If you can’t remember the email associated with your student account, or you cannot reset your password, contact us at info@brainpower.ca
- Can’t see “BigBlueButton”? Look for the text “BigBlueButton,” which is the name of the hosting vendor, not an image of a blue button.
- “Join” Button Not Visible? If you’re too early, the join button may not be active yet. It typically appears 10 minutes before class begins. If you do not see it, try refreshing the page a few times.
- Has My Class Time Changed? No, your class time and instructor remain the same. Please ignore any system glitches that invite you to a class you don’t recognize!
