Please register and access help with your school email address so that we can direct you to the person who can best help you. Your school email address alerts us to your education network. Using your school email address also helps us if you change schools in the future.

The following can self-register to Scootle via http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/preregister.action:

• All independent schools from Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia
• All government schools from Northern Territory, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia
• All catholic schools from Tasmania
• Faculty and students at Australian universities and TAFES, and members of licensed professional associations

Government schools from Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania do not need to register since single sign-on has been enabled from their education network portal.

Catholic schools that are members of Catholic Network Australia or Catholic Education Network also do not need to register since single sign-on has been enabled from their education network portal.

1. Go to http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/preregister.action.
2. Select state/territory and sector to which your school belongs.
3. Enter your education email address (for example: your address ending in .gov.au or .edu.au).
4. Enter your details as required.
5. A URL will then be emailed to you to confirm your registration.

The confirmation email may have gone to your junk mail folder or your registration may not have been confirmed. Please submit a support ticket to be manually confirmed.

If you are unable to access Scootle learning paths or resources, it is an indication that you were not registered under a school group. To be added to your school group, liaise with your school administrator or submit a support ticket.

If you are a school administrator in an independent school and would like to register your school staff, email them the school's specific Scootle registration link.

Your school's staff will then click the registration link, register using their email address and establish a password. When they have completed their registration form, a confirmation email will be sent to them. They can then click the link in the email to confirm their registration. For your easy reference, more details about registration are on page 9 in the Scootle user guide for school managers (PDF, 1.02 MB).

A learning path allows you to create a collection of resources on a topic or curriculum area. Once your collection is compiled you can edit item descriptions and add your own comments, navigation instructions, links or tasks associated with each learning item.

Each path has a unique pin, allowing you to quickly share your learning paths with your students. You may also share your learning paths with colleagues from your school, jurisdiction or make them discoverable to all Scootle users. Alternatively you can export your paths as a spread sheet or PDF.

Follow these steps to create a learning path

Step 1 Search for a topic or browse resources by Australian Curriculum.

Step 2 Add a resource from the search results to a learning path by selecting the '+ Add to' button located at the right side of each resource title.

Step 3 Add the resource to your existing learning path(s) by ticking the checkboxes.

Step 4 Add the resource to a new learning path by selecting the 'Create new learning path' button and completing the form. You can save the new learning path to an existing folder or on a new folder.

Step 5 Manage your learning paths by selecting 'Learning paths' in the main navigation and selecting the 'My learning paths' tab. There are several actions available. You may edit, delete, copy, share or export a learning path.

Students access learning paths by using a student PIN. Each learning path that you create has a unique PIN associated with it. The PIN is located at the top of the page, under the name of the learning path that you've created.

You can copy this PIN and provide it to students. Students can enter the PIN at http://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/pin to get access to that specific learning path.
