New netTrekker Enhancements – Coming for Back to School
These new netTrekker enhancements will be effective August 1, 2009. Feedback from our netTrekker subscribers continues to be very valuable in guiding our product development team as they work to make netTrekker even better for our students and teachers.
The process to register a NEW netTrekker username and password will change.
• Users will be required to enter a Registration Key during the registration process to make it simpler to connect the user to his or her specific school. No more searching for the correct school from a long drop down list – the Registration Key will automatically associate the user with the proper school.
• Current usernames and passwords will continue to work, and this change will not affect users who access netTrekker via IP authentication (unless they want to register for an individual account) or portal authentication.
netTrekker Administrators will need to login to your netTrekker Admin Account and generate a Registration Key for each subscribing school, and communicate to your new users.
• The Registration Key for each school will be valid for 1 year and can be reactivated, or a new Registration Key can be generated.
• The Registration Key for each school will need to be shared with your staff so that new teachers and new students can register and being using netTrekker. The template is included when the Registration Key is generated.
Look for additional information about these and other netTrekker enhancements and links to video tutorials about the new Registration Key from the See What’s New icon (coming 8/1) on the netTrekker login page and netTrekker.com.
As always, if you have any questions about any of these changes, please contact your Customer Relationship Specialist at 877-517-1125.
